Praise

“This is Brent’s eighth and best book on distribution management. With an overarching topic of strategy he has been able to integrate into it much of his best thinking and research of the past 11 years. He also openly shares stories from his own 35-year journey at practicing strategy first as a distributor principal and now as a director of multiple distribution firms. While reading the book, be prepared to write down all of the ‘light bulb’ ideas you will have about your own business." - D. Bruce Merrifield Jr., distribution industry veteran and president, Merrifield Consulting
