Tariff-Proof Your Distribution Business: Free Strategic Workshop

Written by Intuilize Team | May 06, 2025

With distribution margins already tight (3-7%), even modest tariff increases can devastate your bottom line. The upcoming expanded "Reciprocal Tariff Policy" has left many distributors wondering how to balance profitability and customer relationships.

Industry analysts reveal that 60% of distributors lack a strategic approach to tariff management—yet forward-thinking companies can turn this challenge into competitive advantage.. Our upcoming FREE Industry Workshop will walk you through it in practical steps you can implement NOW.

This exciting event will be hosted by our CEO and Founder, Nelson Valderrama, and Phil Samuels, our VP of Sales and Marketing.

Beyond All-or-Nothing Tariff Responses

Distributors typically default to two flawed approaches: passing through everything (protecting margins but risking customer relationships) or absorbing everything (preserving goodwill but sacrificing profitability).

These blanket policies ignore a crucial reality: not all products and customers carry equal strategic importance. Distributors who thrived during previous trade tensions gained an average 4.2% market share by implementing segmented approaches.
