Chicago / Wholesale and B2B distribution
A distributor does not need every visitor to become a lead. It needs suitable buyers to understand the range, commercial conditions and next step. I help Chicago wholesale teams connect their marketing offer with inventory priorities and sales follow-through. The work is delivered remotely, with the people responsible for pricing, stock and customer relationships involved in the decisions.
Buyer acquisition and inventory priorities
A Chicago distributor expanding beyond established accounts could brief a project around a specific buyer segment: which products belong in its opening offer, what quantities are viable and which delivery conditions must be visible before a quote request. Another team might need to move aging stock without confusing regular customers about its core price position.
Account expansion prioritizes repeatable acquisition; surplus-stock work prioritizes recovery, channel separation and time. Combining them into one generic promotion would hide the commercial trade-offs that should guide the work.
A focused service selection
Define target accounts, assortment, order conditions and the materials buyers need to evaluate the opportunity. Turn product availability into a clear proposition instead of sending the same catalog to every prospect.

Explore inventory liquidation strategyAgree the information needed for qualification, the owner of the quote and the next follow-up. Separate sample requests, price checks and viable accounts so sales can act on the opportunity without reconstructing its context.

Review an agreed stock extract, current sales materials and inquiry examples. Your team confirms product facts, availability and fulfillment boundaries. Calls fit agreed Chicago review windows; sensitive pricing stays within the agreed access arrangements.
The scope can include a buyer-segment map, offer structure, catalog-page brief, qualification fields and follow-up stages. Each deliverable has an owner, including any changes handled by your existing website or sales team.
Start with a defined range and buyer group. Review inquiry quality, quoting obstacles and reasons opportunities stall. Expand only after the offer and operational handoff are usable, not simply because traffic increased.
I designed and developed SupplyExit, my own B2B inventory platform, with separate seller and buyer routes, structured inventory discovery and inquiry flows. The case demonstrates the implementation approach: distinct commercial audiences need distinct information and actions, even when they share one website.
The engagement is remote, not an on-site warehouse service. Your operations team validates stock and fulfillment facts; I translate those constraints into the offer, marketing priorities and customer journey.
No. Consulting defines the commercial approach, materials and process. It does not guarantee purchase orders or make me the buyer of your stock. Responsibilities for outreach and execution are explicit in the scope.
Yes. We first map the current quoting and follow-up process. A short qualification checklist and consistent stages may be more useful than a system migration; integrations are scoped separately when necessary.
