PDIS 2023: Playing smart in a tough economy
For months, many economists have said a recession is still approaching while others have argued it has already happened.
Regardless, the economy has been turbulent, to say the least, over the past two years.
Along with high inflation, gas prices, and mortgage rates, the industry has been impacted by supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, competitive wages, and increased overhead costs.
The outcome has left many businesses rethinking their strategies.
So how do businesses balance these economic shifts and make smart business decisions?
And what are the top five initiatives businesses can undertake during economic shifts and sometimes an unpredictable marketplace?
Join us at the ProDealer Industry Summit in Kansas City, Missouri for a detailed session — “Playing Smart in a Tough Economy” — featuring some of the lumber and building material industry’s top leaders. This session takes place Oct. 5.
During a discussion, LBM executives will provide details on how business leaders can use shifts in the economy as an opportunity to invest in your company, to understand your market better, learn more about your customers, support your employees all at the same time, and keep moving forward.
Speakers for the session include:
- Tom Ford, Vice President of Supply Chain & IT, Spahn & Rose Lumber Co.
- Steve Swinney, CEO & Co-Founder, Kodiak Building Partners, Inc.
