Instructor: Mike Foster

Level of Complexity: Foundational/Intermediate/Advanced
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

When a cyberattack hits a distribution business, it doesn't just affect IT—it can paralyze operations, compromise supplier relationships, and damage customer trust built over decades. This dynamic session cuts through technical jargon to deliver exactly what distribution leaders need to know about modern cyber threats. Through real-world distribution industry examples and interactive scenarios, you'll gain practical insights to evaluate your organization's cyber readiness and confidently lead security conversations with your IT teams, whether in-house or outsourced. Particularly valuable for leaders overseeing multi-location operations, complex supply chains, or digital transformation initiatives.
 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Cyber Threats in Plain English: Decode the latest cyber risks specifically targeting distribution operations – from warehouse applications to business systems you depend on – without getting lost in technical jargon
  2. The Million-Dollar Question: Learn to spot the difference between essential security measures and expensive 'nice-to-haves' – helping you make smarter cyber investment decisions
  3. Beyond the Basics: Master practical techniques to evaluate whether your organization's current security measures actually match your business risks (Spoiler: Most don't!)
  4. Crisis-Ready Leadership: Develop an action plan for the first 48 hours of a cyber incident – because in distribution, every hour of downtime costs money

Value-Added Selling (4th Edition)

Paul Reilly & Tom Reilly

Value Added Book

“Value” is about more than just price. Good salespeople understand that and know what differentiates their products from that of competitors. Developments in technology, including price comparison apps and search engines, now provide consumers with more information than ever, making it much harder to value and sell your product. Additionally, millennials, who now comprise the largest population in the workforce, prefer to do things differently than prior generations. This updated fourth edition of Reilly’s classic guide examines the latest trends and technology that have impacted the market and provides expert advice on leveraging current technology to increase sales.

Value-Added Selling, 4th edition offers proven strategies and tactics to help you not only close more sales but improve repeat business without compromising on price. You’ll learn how to anticipate the needs, wants, and concerns of buyers from the very beginning of the sales process. The book shows how to compete more profitably by selling value, not price.
