The Commercial Vehicle Solutions Network (CVSN) held another wonderfully well received Distributor Training Expo earlier this month in Atlanta.
Attended by more than 170 distributor sales professionals, 16 suppliers and the industry’s two buying groups, the Distributor Training Expo (DTE) is the only annual training event that enables vendors to train their distributor partner’s field sales professionals with classroom and in-person booth instruction at a single time. The DTE also enables distributor operations to have their best sales associates receive expert product instruction from a wide selection of key vendors in a single weekend, maximizing their investment and reducing the amount of time their associates are away from their business.
Always a positive experience for distributor and vendor attendees alike, this year’s event was held July 7-9. In a post-event survey before departures, the event earned a satisfaction rate in the 90th percentile, and a near unanimous response from attendees who said they would recommend the event to colleagues.
The survey also uncovered an overwhelming majority of attendees would attend the Distributor Training Expo again, good news for CVSN organizers who will move the event to Dallas in July 2024.

“We were very pleased [by participant reception], especially considering the week we chose,” said CVSN Executive Director Edward Kuo. “Pretty much all of our feedback fell in the good to excellent categories and that’s what you want to see.”
