Given the current economic environment, it seems likely that some important price increases will work their way through almost every line of trade in the economy. Most distributors tend to approach supplier price increases with more than a little trepidation.

The Most Important Information You Can Possess
More than two decades ago, I learned a lesson that has stuck with me since, and that I've taught countless salespeople - all of whom have used it to good effect. It's about the most valuable information you can possess.
