Steps to Category Success
& Best Practices…
“What are others doing to win in
the category”?
Steps To Success & Best Practices



Top Management Commitment Required:
 Set specific Breakroom and JanSan sales goals
 Keep a “spotlight” on the category
 Sales People Respect what the Boss Inspects
Marketing Is Key…especially early on!
 Use marketing as ‘CAC’…Category Awareness Campaigns
 Promotions can get you your first order
Learn the Categories & Products…one at a time
 Target the largest categories first
 Demonstrate Private Brand products on sales calls
 National Brands are easier to take orders…but you’ll make
more $$ selling private brands
 Know why certain products are different…including their
price differences
Steps To Success & Best Practices







Stocking Cleaning & Breakroom can affect cash flow…do it
opportunistically
Target the Small to Medium sized customer base
 Learn the category on your “best” customers
 Leverage your service-advantage strengths
 AVOID selling on price alone…win today…lose tomorrow
Sell in quantity…picking cartons costs the same as picking an
each
JanSan is a net priced business
 Manage the excessive loads & rebates
Set REALISTIC margin expectations!
Business gap reviews identify customer opportunities
A Category Champion = Accelerated Growth
