    What If CRM Was About Automation Engines Feeding You BI-Driven Insights? With Kristen Thom, White Cup

    Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software companies sell a simple premise: if you can manage customer data, you can grow your business. But capitalizing on that promise is complicated, as any company struggling with CRM implementation knows.  Kristen Thom, senior vice president of customer experience for White Cup, has an easy fix for this persistent CRM pain point. She helps distributors reframe their focus, emphasizing actionable information over team micromanagement. Jason caught up with her to discuss White Cup’s powerful CRM+BI solution and the revolutionary ways that the company incorporates AI to capture hidden market share while improving long-term customer relationships.

    A Timeless Truth: Why Following Up Matters, Revisiting Jessica Yurgaitis, Industrial Supply Company

    The past is always present at Industrial Supply Company, thanks to a treasure trove of historical documents dating back to 1915. While the Utah-based company’s century+ heritage is impressive, Jessica Yurgaitis has no intention of dwelling in the dust of the organization’s bygone era, even if the history major in her loves posting those old handwritten letters and sales slips.  We’re revisiting Jason’s conversation with this fourth-generation president about balancing respect for family legacy with a desire to launch the company into a thoroughly modern future. *** CONNECT WITH JASON LinkedIn CONNECT WITH JESSICA LinkedIn *** Distribution Talk is produced by The Distribution Team, a consulting services firm dedicated to helping wholesale distribution clients remove barriers to profitability, generate wealth, and achieve personal goals.    This episode was edited by The Creative Impostor Studios  Special thanks to our sponsors for this episode: Moblico, helping businesses do more business on mobile devices; and INxSQL Distribution Software, an integrated distribution ERP software designed for the wholesale and distribution industry.

    From Humble Beginnings to an Employee Owned Empire with Billy Duren, Threaded Fasteners

    It’s rare to come across a company that has evolved as profitably or organically as Threaded Fasteners, Inc. While it’s tempting to award all the credit to Billy Duren, president and CEO of the Alabama-based manufacturer and distributor, he’d be the first to tell you that the company’s success is wholly due to the creativity of its employee-owners.  Jason caught up with Billy to learn more about the organization’s dynamic growth and its legacy of innovation, both of which were made possible by a succession plan that centered around an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

    A Plug-And-Play Solution to Maximize eCommerce with Justin Johnson of Motivate

    Remember when eCommerce was going to revolutionize B2B sales? Twenty years in, only a handful of channels have capitalized on the initial promise. But distributors aren’t to blame for the operational failure, says Justin Johnson, Founder of Motivate. He maintains that the major e-commerce platforms should bear the blame. They failed to grasp that most orders are placed from the job site via mobile, a recurring purchase order, or a list scribbled on a piece of drywall.  Jason spoke with Justin about his company’s innovative plug-and-play order processing solution, a PO-to-cart widget that works with the software distributors already own. It can even convert images into orders with incredible accuracy.
