White Paper – Study on Commissions
In August, FSMA announced plans to co-sponsor a White Paper on the “Correlation Between Agency Commissions & Sales and Marketing Performance,” which will address the counter-effectiveness of commission reductions as compared to commission increases to Agencies, generating significant increases in a Manufacturer’s sales and marketing effectiveness. FSMA invites all Manufacturers and Agencies who desire to participate in the Study or contribute toward the White Paper Study to Click HERE, or contact FSMA General Counsel Barry C. Maloney at 202 596-8112.
FSMA Top2Top Conference
Jerry Campbell also noted that the International Foodservice Manufacturers Association (“IFMA”) has announced that its 2020 Presidents Conference, in which many FSMA Agency and Manufacturing Members participate, will be going virtual because of the pandemic restrictions. The conference will take place in the first two weeks of November.
Previously, FSMA had planned on sponsoring in-person add-on Top2Top sessions to the IFMA Presidents Conference, but those sessions were also postponed due to the pandemic. FSMA encourages the entire leadership teams of its Agency, Manufacturer, and Supplier Members to consider attending the IFMA virtual conference, as content plans and special corporate pricing are developed.
