    Teaching Soft Skills, Sales Savvy and Servant-Style Leadership to Next Gen Talent with Dr. Lee Allison, Texas A&M University

    Conventional business wisdom holds that everyone wants to join the marketing team; no one wants to work in sales anymore.  Dr. Lee Allison rejects this defeatist attitude and the generational stereotypes that often accompany it. As Professor of Engineering Technology & Industrial Distribution at Texas A&M University, she has a literal front row seat to the rise of GenZ and Gen Alpha––and all reports from campus are good!   CONNECT WITH JASON LinkedIn CONNECT WITH LEE LinkedIn For full show notes and services visit: https://www.distributionteam.com 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: INxSQL Distribution Software, an integrated distribution ERP software designed for the wholesale and distribution industry; and Moblico, helping businesses do more business on mobile devices.

    Making The Mundane Returns Process Profitable With Alex Witcpalek of Continuum.ai

    Returns, warranties, and repairs are a headache for distribution. Much of that pain stems from the antiquated systems that most companies still rely on to process their returns. Alex Witcpalek, founder and CEO of Continuum.ai, recognized the optimization potential of this largely overlooked in-house activity and created the first B2B returns network for distributors and manufacturers.  Jason caught up with Alex during a recent conference in Chicago to find out what drew this ex-college footballer to distribution (and podcasting!), why Continuum.ai’s platform is a perfect match for a niche operation with so many variables, and how it boosts the user’s overall profitability. The pair also discuss the role that Continuum.ai’s quality culture plays in attracting and keeping a top-tier workforce.  CONNECT WITH JASON LinkedIn CONNECT WITH ALEX LinkedIn GoContinuum.ai Podcast For full show notes and services visit: https://www.distributionteam.com 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 sponsor for this episode: INxSQL Distribution Software, an integrated distribution ERP software designed for the wholesale and distribution industry.

    An Adventure in Entrepreneurship from Passion to Problem-Solving to Profit: Revisiting Jeff Peterson at Interstate Music

    If entrepreneurs are known for marching to a different beat, then Jeff Peterson is an improvisational maestro. DT fans may remember Jason’s conversation with the CEO of Geneva Supply in episode 21, in which the two discussed growing and expanding that company’s footprint. And did he ever! Just as that business started to get predictable, Jeff stumbled upon his next entrepreneurial challenge: Interstate Music. This week, we're revisiting Jeff's second appearance on Distribution Talk: The One Where Jeff Went All In to Turn Around a 75-Year-Old Music Retailer (even though the company languished in bankruptcy and the world paused for a pandemic). He applied his extensive e-com knowledge and a lifelong affinity for live music to a new entrepreneurial challenge and has never once regretted taking on that challenge.

    The Art of Bringing Industry Competitors Together With Edward Kuo of Commercial Vehicle Solutions Network

    Buzzwords can shut down conversations quicker than their end users care to admit. But, when Edward Kuo employs terms like “collaborate” and “innovate” to describe his role as executive director of the Commercial Vehicle Solutions Network (CVSN), he can back them up with decades of association experience and a successful track record of advocating for an entire industry, not just the members of his organization.  Jason and Edward chat about the value associations provide businesses beyond their membership, the challenges of attracting younger workers to a career in distribution, and the art of bringing industry competitors together for the good of all.  CONNECT WITH JASON LinkedIn CONNECT WITH EDWARD LinkedIn *** For full show notes and services visit: https://www.distributionteam.com 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.

    An enterprise resources planning (ERP) system is great…until it's not. But, before you sign on the dotted line for your first warehouse management system (WMS), have you given serious (and honest) thought to how your growing pains might manifest in that pricey new platform?  Casey Winans has. He's the founder and CEO of Fullstride, an independent advisory firm purpose-built to ensure smooth transitions from ERP to WMS. Jason chats with Casey about the art and science of a successful upgrade and how to perform an internal review of warehouse processes and employee engagement before making the move to WMS.
