For Distributors
Industry Expertise for Distributors

Our real world experience fosters an understanding and empathy that makes our partnership invaluable when clients are facing challenges to improve. These include scenarios such as downsizing in a recession, changing major suppliers, integrating an acquisition, changing out managers from "C" players to "A" players, and even learning to make a profit on five fewer points of gross margin.

IRCG participates in each phase of the consulting assignment with responsibility for the quality of the results. We stand shoulder to shoulder with our clients to make the changes work. Simply put, we spend more time with rolled-up sleeves working late nights to accomplish our goals than we spend making presentations.
