According to Larry Caretsky, President of Commence Corporation (www.commence.com/mfg./) “In order to thrive in today’s industrial environment, characterized by intense competition, strategic sourcing contracts, customers’ pressuring for self-service, and the ongoing debate on fee-based services, industrial distributors and manufacturers need more than leading technological products or an efficient warehouse or plant to achieve long-term growth. Leading industrial organizations are looking outside of their four walls to the customer for growth ideas. Differentiating sales and marketing, the business customer-facing part of any company, is viewed as the way to achieve a competitive advantage. “
