Member Testimonials

In response to an survey entitled "HOW HAVE WE HELPED YOU?", here are some of the NBMDA distributor & manufacturer responses we received through our office . . .

"Involvement in the NBMDA over the past 12 years has created many benefits, particularly as it pertains to industry specific value-wholesale distribution. This invaluable information enhances my bottom line."
Jim White,
White-Wood Distributors

"Attending NBMDA seminars has helped our company tremendously. We renegotiated our trucking lease following a leasing seminar that saved $200,000. An NBMDA Banking seminar and follow-up survey helped reduce our interest rate on our bank loan by over 3 percentage points."
Lee Schull,
Building Products, Inc.

"We have taken advantage of speakers' suggestions to improve profitability and improve customer service. I usually return from each meeting armed with something I can implement right away to make an improvement to our business."
Christopher Tompkins,
Kruse Plastics and Plywood

"After attending an insurance roundtable at the Annual NBMDA Management Conference, a suggestion was made that I ask my suppliers for certificates of Insurance. This has saved me $1,500 annually on our insurance premiums."
Perry Sparks
Lumberyard Supply Co.

"The NBMDA Education Foundation has secured the leaders in distribution management training that I could not afford otherwise, nor would I have the access to on my own. This alone has been worth far more than the cost of membership."
John Blackburn,
JGA Corporation

"I go to the sessions and I get to meet with distributors who are selling my product, who should be selling my product, but the most important thing I find is what their concerns are. This kind of information allows me to tailor my business practices to their needs specifically. You can't get that kind of knowledge anywhere else."
Jamie Gregg,
Colonial Bronze Co.
