Become an Event-Driven Distributor™

The simple, powerful shift that transforms how you sell promo, win clients, and build a business that actually works.

Most distributors are taught to sell products. Catalogs. Trends. "Hot" items. Random outreach. Random orders. Random chaos.

But here is the truth the industry never talks about:

"Clients don't buy products. Clients buy for events."

Trade shows. Onboarding. Sales meetings. Customer events. Launches. Moments. Deadlines. Visibility.

Once you understand that, everything changes.

The Big Realization (That No One Ever Told You)

Promo isn't a product business. Promo is an event business.

Events control:

  • • budget
  • • timing
  • • quantities
  • • product choices
  • • displays
  • • emotions
  • • urgency
  • • order size
  • • repeat business

Every order you have ever taken was tied to a moment. Most reps never notice it, so they sell blind.

Event-Driven Distributors™ sell with clarity, confidence, and strategy.

Why This Matters

When you build your business around events:

  • selling feels natural
  • upselling becomes logical
  • displays and merch connect
  • clients trust you faster
  • orders get bigger
  • timelines make sense
  • repeat business skyrockets
  • workflow becomes predictable
  • you stop racing deadlines
  • you stop getting price shopped

It is not hype. It is not theory. It is the truth hiding in plain sight.

The Promo Industry Has a Problem

Promo has grown into a $26+ billion industry. But the way people teach promo has barely changed.

Everyone says:

  • • "Find good products."
  • • "Send catalogs."
  • • "Blast supplier flyers."
  • • "Sell everything to everyone."

And that is why so many reps:

  • • burn out
  • • underprice
  • • struggle to differentiate
  • • feel overwhelmed
  • • never scale
  • • stay stuck in reactive mode forever

"You don't need more products. You need a system."

Why Listen To Me

I have spent 20+ years in:

  • • decorated apparel
  • • promo
  • • signage
  • • displays
  • • supplier sales
  • • distributor ownership
  • • trade show strategy

On the supplier side, especially in displays, I saw the pattern no one else was teaching:

  • • Every big order was for an event.
  • • Every timeline was event driven.
  • • Every decision was tied to a date.

Once I saw it, everything in promo made sense.

This framework came directly from that experience. Not theory. Not hype. Just what actually works.
