The Mid-Market Tariff Dilemma
Small and midsize wholesalers are caught in a precarious position. Your vendors are providing inconsistent tariff information, your customers are demanding transparency, and you're stuck in the middle trying to protect already-thin margins.
Recent studies show distributors losing up to 7.6% in margin erosion due to ineffective tariff management. With tariffs of 10-25% now in effect, the pressure on your business is intensifying daily.
Unlike larger competitors with dedicated tariff specialists and enterprise systems, you need practical solutions that work with your limited IT and financial resources.
What You'll Learn in This Workshop
In this practical 45-minute session, we'll provide a streamlined approach to tariff management specifically designed for mid-market distributors ($25M-$99M revenue). Based on real implementations with companies just like yours, our workshop will deliver:
- The Tariff Impact Assessment Matrix - Identify which product categories truly need your immediate attention
- Practical ERP Workarounds - Configure your existing systems to track tariff impacts without expensive customizations
- Clear Customer Communication Templates - Maintain relationships during price increases with confidence
- A 4-Phase Implementation Plan - Align purchasing, operations, and sales around a common approach
- Quick-Win Strategies - Get immediate results while building toward comprehensive solutions
Why This Matters Now
The tariff situation is creating three critical breakpoints in most distribution businesses:
- Vendor Notification Inconsistencies - Suppliers are providing tariff information in different formats or embedding it in unit costs with no transparency
- ERP System Configuration Gaps - Your systems weren't designed to handle today's complex tariff scenarios
- Customer Communication Disconnects - Explaining price increases without alienating key accounts requires a strategic approach
Each week of delay means continued margin erosion as costs increase but prices don't adjust optimally.
