Nationwide Recaps Annual Field Team Meeting in Atlanta

Furniture World News Desk on 7/6/2015

Earlier in June, the Nationwide Marketing group hosted their annual Field Team meeting at their PrimeMedia production facility in Atlanta.

The fifty field representatives and member support professionals from around the nation attended the four-day meeting. The team went through various training sessions on enhancements to some of the group’s most popular member exclusive services, such as Membernet TV, Infopads, Sales Comparison tools, and more about the new distribution channel, the eXchange. Through the exchange of best practices, the team walked away with new strategies to maximize the efficiency of member visits.
The highlight of the meeting was the unveiling of the new internal field team app, an exclusive platform developed to improve consistency and effectiveness during member visits. The app assists the field team reps in communicating the group’s most popular membership assets and allows the retailer to better understand and develop go to market strategies.

Jeff Knock of Nationwide said, “Our field services organization is critical in helping members take advantage of our programs, tools and services, in-store. In particular, as we roll out our “Prepare for Share” strategy, this team is instrumental in helping our members take the strategic steps necessary to gain available share in their local markets”.

Nationwide’s growing roster of representatives standing ready to assist their 3,800 retailers is an example of the continued growth of the organization. Nationwide strives to constantly evolve their strategy with their supplier partners and ignite success through the independent retail channel by offering their members the progressive tools they need to capture share in their marketplace.
