Integrated Supply Network (ISN) held its 16th annual Tool Dealer Expo on June 29 and 30 in Orlando, FL, which allowed distributors to experience valuable industry trainings, get a first look at exclusive tool launches and chances to win more than $2 million in cash and prizes.
With more than 170 vendors partnering with ISN to host this event, this year’s Tool Dealer Expo was packed with value for every reseller. Hosted at the award-winning Rosen Shingle Creek Golf Resort & Spa, more than 2,500 attendees enjoyed the newly redesigned golf course, luxurious rooms, 12 onsite restaurants and atmosphere at the beautiful Spanish-style resort.
Celebrity Willie B, host of “2 Guys Garage,” spent time at the Monster booth. His cool vibes and “gearhead” advice were a pleasure for ISN customers and employees alike, the group said.
As one of the industry’s largest tool and equipment trade shows, Tool Dealer Expo enabled suppliers to launch their new products and deliver exclusive deals only available through Integrated Supply Network.
As soon as the expo began, customers filled the room eager to learn about new and innovative products guaranteed to give them an advantage in the marketplace and allow them to stand apart from the competition. Participating vendors increased the excitement with cash back offerings and deals.
ISN says it is dedicated to better understanding its customer’s business and informational needs that can improve their bottom line.
ISN introduced a list of new and improved training seminars that focused on everything from better business leadership practices to sales training and empowering women. The group hosted panels specifically tailored for mobile tool distributors and parts stores delivering valuable information designed to grow each attendee’s business; covering topics that directly impact their business, best practices and sharing among peers. In addition, ISN vendor partners brought in their best instructors to train and update customers on the latest diagnostics, marketing, sales and business development strategies.
