Cross-Purposes - It takes a long time to develop good distributor-supplier relationships. Unfortunately, it only takes a short time to destroy them. This session will help you understand what is behind the constant friction that exists when both partners work at legitimate cross-purposes because their paths to profit and growth are very different. You’ll learn how to avoid the consequences of a core relationship turning sour by looking for a means of correcting emerging problems before they become critical. A real-world framework for diagnostic insights and action planning can move a relationship from dysfunctional to effective and help both sides achieve shared and individual goals.
