MANA CEO Charles Cohon is an invited speaker scheduled to be with some of the best reps in the plumbing industry in Napa, California this fall for the Association of Independent Manufacturers’ Representatives (AIM/R) 46th Annual Conference. Cohon’s presentation, The Quick and the Dead, focuses on the urgent need for reps to be agile in today’s challenging business environment.

“It’s a special treat for me to be with my friends at AIM/R,” noted Cohon, “because every AIM/R member also is a MANA member!”

This Annual Conference is “the place to be” for professional, independent business owners to learn, share, bond and recharge. Mike Mullen of A.H. Deveney & Co., LLC, is Chairman of the 2018 Annual Conference — themed “Cultivating Your Success” — to be held September 12-15 at The Meritage Resort & Spa in Napa.

“Year after year, the reps and manufacturers who attend our conference report that it has brought them measurable value,” said Mullen. “They learn better business practices and the latest in technologies, and the open dialogue between manufacturers and reps enhances their ongoing communications. Probably the biggest value for attendees is the opportunity to build a trusted network of peers throughout North America with which to share experiences, advice and support for years to come. All of this raises the bar for quality and professionalism.”

A clear indication of the value reps and manufacturers place on the event is the significant jump in pre-registrations. With 14 weeks remaining before the conference kicks off, a total of 381 individuals are registered to attend. As a comparison, 14 weeks prior to the 2017 conference, 272 people had registered while in 2016 and 2015, that number was 250 and 251, respectively.

Just a few of the highlights to expect at “Cultivating Your Success” are:

Build sales practices that are in synch with customers’ expectations.
A look inside two nationally recognized wholesaling companies.
Smart business responses to trends in politics, economics and technology.
Three major manufacturing executives engage in an interactive panel.
Rep and manufacturer roundtable.
Create a winning corporate culture with top-tier employees.

And some very special honorees will be recognized when the newest inductees to the AIM/R Hall of Fame and the AIM/R Golden Eagle Award winner are announced.

For anyone who focuses on the plumbing market, AIM/R membership and attendance at the AIM/R conference are “must have” credentials for success. See you there!
