From margin pressure to profitable growth: Commercial excellence strategies for european wholesalers & distributors

Wednesday, October 7, 2026
Wholesale Webinar

European wholesalers and distributors are facing unprecedented commercial pressure: volatile costs, margin erosion, aggressive competition, fragmented commercial data, and rapidly rising customer expectations. As a result, commercial excellence is becoming a strategic priority for wholesalers and distributors looking to recover margin and accelerate profitable growth.

Our experts will share how leading wholesalers and distributors are fixing and modernizing the commercial core of their business: transforming pricing, sales, quoting, digital channels, and customer management to strengthen commercial execution and accelerate profitable growth in this new commercial reality. A keynote from Pierre Benoit, former executive of Rexel Group, will complete the picture with concrete examples and best practices.

This event is free of charge.
