What is a Premier Vendor?
When you become a Premier Vendor through MDNA’s Premier Vendor Program, you’re gaining more than just an annual partnership. You’re unlocking a world of exclusive connections, with deals and sales to match!
Imagine encountering all of your target customers in one place, at one time, hearing you speak about the benefits your products and services bring to the table. Now imagine the ability to repeat that experience multiple times throughout the year, all around the country, in small, medium, and large settings and in casual settings to formal presentations.
Your results as a premier vendor can be so dramatic, in fact, that you could see returns on your investment.
With outcomes such as these, the question isn’t why should you become an MDNA premier vendor, but why wouldn’t you?
The MDNA Premier Vendor program is an exclusive membership within the Machinery Dealers National Association, recognizing trusted vendors who provide top-quality, ethically vetted products and services to MDNA member firms. It serves as a stamp of approval from industry peers.
Who does the cost cover?
The best part? Your investment covers the entire company, not just individuals, allowing all staff to attend events. Employees in different regions can join local chapters or have a single point person manage the program.
