SEE YOU SOON! In our ever-changing industry, it has become even more important for us at ASI to create the environment, products and services to help you, our members, do what you need to do to set yourself apart and grow your business. Ask yourself these questions: I How am I sourcing my products? I Where am I finding new and creative ideas to offer my clients? I How am I connecting with my suppliers, and sourcing new partners? I How am I meeting other distributors that I can lean on and learn from? I Where am I learning about new trends happening in business, technology and the industry?
