    Everybody Has Teeth: Why We've Sold One Thing For 60 Years (with Justin Woycke from Wipeco) | Ep. 51

    Aug 25, 202623 min

    Everybody has teeth, so everybody needs a dentist. That's how Justin Woycke explains the wiping rag business: there's always going to be oil, grease, water, and spills, so the product is never going away. Kyler Nixon...

    Ten Years In And You Don't Actually Know How To Market (with Mark Roskowske from PierTech Systems) | Ep. 50

    Aug 18, 202619 min

    Organic traffic is falling thirty to forty percent across multiple industries, but the raw number of leads looks about the same. That combination is strange enough to stall a marketing team for a quarter. Mark Roskowske...

  • Episode #49

    What Amazon Strips Out Of A Certified Product (with Greg Raece from Online Metals) | Ep. 49

    Aug 11, 202622 min

    Raw materials break most e-commerce assumptions. One alloy comes in dozens of shapes, lengths, and certification states, and a 20-foot bar weighing thousands of pounds doesn't drop neatly into a 3PL warehouse. Kyler...

  • Episode #48

    Your E-Commerce Strategy Should Fit on One Page (with Stacy Hanks from SureWerx) | Ep. 48

    Aug 4, 202629 min

    Nobody funds a strategy they can't repeat back to you. That's the problem Stacy Hanks set out to solve, and it started long before e-commerce. Her time at Altria taught her that simple frameworks and clearly articulated...

    Jul 28, 202625 min

    Kyle Brown wasn't looking to buy a business. He was building a consulting practice, working through his LinkedIn contacts, and reached out to two owners he'd once tried to acquire a company from years earlier. A few...

  • Episode #46

    Behind Every B2B Buyer Is a B2C Buyer (with Isaac Ransom from Epik Workwear) | Ep. 46

    Jul 21, 202630 min

    Most people treat B2B and B2C marketing like two different sports. Kyler Nixon opens this one by admitting he loves pushing buttons on that exact idea, and his guest agrees they're far more similar than different. Isaac...

  • Episode #45

    When Nobody's Selling Parts Online, That's the Opportunity (with Jeff Hedrick from Keep Supply) | Ep. 45

    Jul 14, 202626 min

    Most B2B distributors compete on price, availability, and assortment. Keep Supply took a different bet: that the technicians turning wrenches in refrigeration facilities care about brand, vibe, and experience just as...

  • Episode #44

    Jun 30, 202623 min

    Jun 23, 202623 min

    What does it actually look like when a small distributor decides to go deep on one product instead of wide across a whole market? That's the question at the center of this episode. Kyler Nixon sits down with Kevin...

  • Episode #41

    The Outsider Who Changed Everything (with Marlee D'Arco from Safety Services, Inc.) | Ep. 41

    Jun 16, 202629 min

    Most distribution leaders say they're open to change. A lot fewer have actually been forced to rebuild a 70-year-old company from the inside out, with no industry background, during a pandemic, before buying out their...

  • Episode #40

    How to Build a Digital Roadmap That Leadership Will Actually Fund (with Sam Schwartz) | Ep. 40

    Jun 9, 202634 min

    Most distributors don't have a digital roadmap. They have a list of projects someone wants to do, a budget fight waiting to happen, and a general sense that they're behind. Kyler Nixon sits down with Sam Schwartz , B2B...

    May 26, 202628 min

    They Spent $18,000 on a Mailer and Got $39,000 Back (with Mark Ryan from Plush in a Rush) | Ep. 37

    May 19, 202628 min

    Most distributors spend a lot of time talking about retention. This episode goes the other direction. Kyler Nixon and Mark Ryan break down a direct mail acquisition campaign that Plush in a Rush ran to find new florist...

  • Episode #36

    What Are You the Best in the World At? (with Shane Hollenbaugh from ARCH Cutting Tools) | Ep. 36

    May 12, 202634 min

    When a company grows by acquisition, the obvious risk is fragmentation. Fifteen cutting tool plants, each built by an entrepreneur who spent decades doing things their own way, don't automatically speak the same...

    Why 10,000 Products Doesn't Mean You Start with Products (with Amanda Clark from Barron Equipment) | Ep. 35

    May 5, 202646 min

    Most distributors know they need better SEO. Very few have actually built a process around it. This episode goes deep on what it really takes: the wrong moves that cost money, the weighted analysis that told one...

    Apr 28, 202629 min

    Do What You Say You're Gonna Do (with Jeff Buster from Buster's Industrial Supply) | Ep. 33

    Apr 21, 202629 min

    Most sales playbooks tell you to follow the script, hit the cadence, and move to the next number. Jeff Buster did it that way for a while, too - until he stopped, started just being himself, and became one of the top...

    Small Company, Big Technology: How To Out-Service The Giants (with Lynn Martin from Pineapple Hospitality) | Ep. 32

    Apr 14, 202628 min
