As we transition out of the emergency phase of COVID-19 into the recovery phase, HARDI has developed a new set of tools to help your business prepare for peak season in this new world, designed to address the five greatest uncertainties identified during the crisis. Please use these new tools to help reinvigorate your teams, make informed decisions, and keep your employees and customers safe. Click here for video from Talbot Gee.

HR & Legal Consulting

You might be in uncharted territory now as you’re staffing back up to meet customer demand, while needing to protect your your company, your employees and customers through new policies and procedures that minimize risk. Our HR Consulting Services subscriptions are available to members in need of some guidance through the remainder of 2020. If you choose to take advantage of this subscription you will receive unlimited phone consulting, subscriber-only bulletins and discounted fee-based products and services.

Facilities Sanitization

As counters re-open and customers and staff seek additional assurances about their health and safety, it will be incumbent on HARDI members to take proper care of their physical facilities. We are working to develop a suite of resources for you to understand how to properly sanitize your branch locations, plus properly train and track the work of staffers designated for these tasks. And finally, we’re working to locate fast and reliable sources of the appropriate kind of cleaning chemicals, which we know are still in short supply. Coming Soon – Contact Emily Saving for more information.

Sales Training

Many of our members have expressed how tough the past few months have been on their sales teams. Not being able to meet face-to-face with customers has caused some unique challenges and created new opportunities. With that, HARDI is offering two training courses: Kick-Start Selling Season and Ditch the Pitch Sales Practice Program.

Each course focuses on a different area, one for Sales Leaders, and one for Sales Representatives helping your entire sales teams feel reinvigorated and ready to sell. Click here to learn more.

Margins & Profitability

Wholesale business leaders need to be planning thorough, long-term roadmaps to ensure they are poised for profitable revenue recovery through effective sales leadership and margin management strategies.

In partnership with ActVantage, we are backing a 3-module training and consulting workshop to help you develop a unique plan of attack for long-term economic recovery. Members that enroll in this program will be set up for a sustainable and profitable recovery, through the creation of a customized company roadmap.

Module 1 begins June 17, 2020 – click here for more information.
