"Attending ASI Show is key to understanding how you can better serve your clients' needs by demonstrating new and exciting products, as well as discovering different alternatives you may have been searching for."

"I found a lot of new products that I was able to take back to my clients. I quickly made sales from the show."

"Being a distributor, I met some terrific people in the industry and formed many professional relationships with suppliers. Meeting vendors face-to-face and seeing the latest items to provide to our customers is not only beneficial, but is key to client retention and providing the best customer service."

"It opens the market for people who've never heard of existing vendors and are excited to find new areas/supplies to offer to their clients."

"I learned things from my education sessions that are helping me reach my career goals."

"In addition to all of the awesome new products I saw and vendors I got to connect with, I also attended Education Day, which gave me tons of ideas and motivation for tactics I can use in sales and marketing this year. Being able to connect with other distributors in a supportive environment is invaluable."

"It's a different experience being able to touch and feel the quality of products in your hand, rather than just seeing them presented on a screen. You take away a lot more information about a product, its quality and how to use it when you can have all of that demonstrated in person."

"The opportunity to speak directly with suppliers to gain knowledge from their experience is invaluable. Learning supplier processes oftentimes helps me as a distributor manage client expectations from the start."

"I'm new to business, and an area that I struggle with is having a good idea of what is out there to offer clients. It can be overwhelming. The show provided great insight into products and how to position myself in various markets."

"I'm new in this field and I began sticking with just the top vendors since I wasn't sure how the smaller ones were. I met many of the smaller vendors at ASI Show and have developed great relationships with each of them. Not only did this help me offer more products to customers but it helps vendors!"

"This was my first ASI Show. I walked away with some great education from the daily speakers, as well as insights into new and different products. Going into each conversation with an open mind allowed me to expand my outlook toward the products I can bring to prospects and clients, especially those who I felt there was no way possible to incorporate into our niche. Now I have a greater appreciation for thinking way outside of the box. It was time well spent and I had plenty of access to suppliers to ask questions and gain new insights. I look forward to implementing as much as possible in the months to come and making 2022 a breakout year for our business!"

"This was my first ASI Show. I saw some exciting new products that I was not aware of. I immediately pitched them to my customers and landed a huge opportunity. Definitely worth my time!"
