2015 Top 50 Distributors: The Interviews
The Top 50 Distributors List recognizes the top-performing distributors each year, and as a whole this year, distributors have exceeded expectations. The list’s totals have crossed the $4 billion mark ($4.2 billion to be precise), increasing the total revenue of those appearing on this list by about $350 million. The threshold to join the list also rose. Last year, $18 million in sales earned a Top 50 spot, while more than $24.5 million in sales was needed this year.
The top earners and biggest climbers were eager to share their thoughts, so we interviewed a selection of them about their ascents to becoming top distributors, their 2014 accomplishments, the biggest challenges facing distributors and the industry’s future.
