In this webinar, we’ll share key findings from ISA’s new State of the Channel study, an extensive research effort that includes insights from end customers, manufacturers/reps, and distributors. Together, this data reveals exactly where each channel partner believes the industrial supply channel is heading and what will shape success in the years ahead.

What you’ll learn:

  • The key gaps between End Customers, Distributors, and Manufacturers… and how each group’s value drivers influence purchase decisions
  • The seven critical Barriers to Exit and Barriers to Entry that determine loyalty, market share gains, and top-line sales growth with industrial end customers
  • How leading channel partners are strengthening their “barriers” advantages to create stickier customer relationships and above-market sales growth
  • The biggest perception disconnects between what end customers truly value and what distributors and manufacturers think they value

This session delivers practical, research-driven guidance you can use immediately as you plan for the future of your business and the evolving industrial channel.
