o'It's virtually impossible to bat IO0/o on new products. If, after one year an item doesn't show the necessary profit and sales volume, close it out, even at a loss. It's unfair to your customers who probably aren't getting any volume, either." This is the advice given the National Building Material Distributors Association at the Specialty Products Countil Session held recently.

To make it easier for the distributor to work with the retail dealer, it was proposed that he have pre-printed price sheets with a suggested initial order. This expedites getting in an initial stock and lets the salesman spend more of his time ,briefing the dealer and his personnel on how to sell the new product.
