Ross from Houston faces a common challenge in channel sales: how do you create brand preference for your product when you're selling through distributors who carry multiple competing lines and competitors who undercut your price? His company builds industrial dust-collection equipment and ducting, but they don't sell direct—meaning they rely heavily on distributors, contractors, and engineers to choose their brand over cheaper alternatives. Below, you'll find key insights on how to drive more “pull-through” sales to your channel partners and convince every stakeholder—from designers to installers—to pick your product. Why Pull-Through in Channel Sales Matters When you sell through distribution, you lose a lot of direct control. Your product is on the shelf (literally or figuratively) alongside competitors, and the distributor or contractor can often steer buyers toward any brand they choose. Pull-through happens when the end user, contractor, or engineer specifically requests your brand—making your distributor the middleman who fulfills the preference you created. Educate & Collaborate With Specifiers Ross' sales team already does lunch-and-learn sessions with engineering firms. Those engineers create the specs that contractors must follow, so if your product is “baked in” early, that's a massive advantage later when the contractor goes shopping. But the real test comes when the contractor or installer sees a cheaper alternative on the distributor's line card. Key Steps: Educate engineers on the deeper value and functionality of your product, so they'll insist on it in their specs. Collaborate with contractors. Even if they're not the final decision-maker, they can heavily influence whether your premium line or a cheaper knockoff is chosen. Brand Preference vs. Price Objections The toughest hurdle for a premium brand is the classic price objection. If the competitor's line undercuts you, how do you prove your extra value? Unearth the Real Cost of Going Cheap. Show specifiers and end users the Total Cost of Ownership—that cheaper or less-robust solutions can lead to higher maintenance, safety issues, or inefficiencies down the line. Highlight Success Stories. Gather testimonials or case studies from buyers who saved time, boosted reliability, or lowered total cost of ownership by choosing your brand. Create Tools and Guides. Develop clear documentation or ROI calculators that help buyers see beyond sticker price—especially useful if the distributor's rep isn't fully equipped to present your value. Dealing with the Distributor as a Gatekeeper You can do all the contractor or engineer training you want, but if the distributor's inside salesperson steers a buyer to a cheaper product, you still lose. That's why building the distributor relationship is non-negotiable. Action Items: Train the Distributor's Sales Reps. Show them exactly how to pitch your brand's advantages, from installation ease to long-term reliability. Reward Them for Advocacy. If possible, offer spiffs or incentives when they successfully sell your line. In some cases, highlight how your product can reduce their support headaches and returns, making their life easier. Co-Sell on Big Deals. Bring major opportunities to the distributor, or volunteer to go on key calls together. When you help them close deals, they become more loyal to you. Get Proactive and Strategic One pitfall in channel sales is that your rep can become just a “help desk” for the distributor—always fixing problems instead of actively driving new deals. But a proactive approach can turn that support into a competitive edge: Offer On-Site or Virtual Coaching. Whenever the distributor or contractor hits a snag, your rep steps in, demonstrating expertise. This builds trust and brand loyalty. Balance Support with Hunting. While your reps should help,

[EP 25-102] When all is said and done, DOGE will prove what many Americans have long suspected: a majority of Congress, both House and Senate, are on the take and have been for decades. They've enriched themselves off taxpayers through kickbacks, pay-for-play schemes, and outright theft funneled through federal agencies. So, the Left's full-court press against DOGE continues. Now, they're targeting Tesla dealerships in a coordinated effort to demonize Elon Musk. Clearly, this is an organized political attack, and the latest in their playbook to destroy anyone who dares challenge the regime.Just recently, MSNBC hosts laughed when a SpaceX rocket exploded ([reference needed]). What's so funny about that? Think about it. This wasn't some North Korean missile test failure. It was a historic attempt by one of the greatest minds of our time, a man who might be the Da Vinci of our era. Laughing at his setbacks is like mocking a scientist searching for a cure for cancer. The Left ridicules Musk because they can't control him. Ridicule is their last resort when all else fails. But how do you ridicule success?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

In Europe, dogs have been used for centuries for their keen sense of smell to locate prized black and white truffles which can fetch hundreds or thousands of dollars a pound depending on their variety. In Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, using dogs to sniff out truffles is relatively new and growing in popularity. There are even training classes and an annual truffle dog contest held at the Oregon Truffle festival.  Oregon has four varieties of gourmet edible truffles, but there are hundreds of species of these mysterious fungi growing on the roots of conifer and oak trees across the state. So what if you could use a dog’s nose to home in on the odor signatures of all sorts of truffles, not just the commercially valuable ones, for a better scientific understanding of truffle biodiversity? That’s the goal of Heather Dawson, a doctoral student in the biology department at University of Oregon. She trained her golden retriever, Rye, to detect dozens of different kinds of truffles in the Willamette Valley alone. She joins us to share her work and the attention it’s attracting among other scientists and forest foragers.

Every physician has those patient conversations they'd rather avoid, the ones that drain energy and feel like a constant struggle. But what if there was a way to make them easier and more effective? In this episode, Dr. Rob Orman shares how scripting your least favorite conversations can help you stay in control, set boundaries with compassion, and reduce emotional fatigue.Dr. Bradley Block and Dr. Rob Orman dive into key frameworks that can help you approach difficult conversations with confidence, including the “Yes, No, Yes” method—affirming concerns, setting boundaries, and providing alternatives, how to identify the conversations that exhaust you the most (and how to script them), the mindset shift from “I have knowledge to give” to “the patient has knowledge I need to understand”, why physicians often speak in logic, while patients respond to emotion—and how to bridge the gap and techniques from hostage negotiation that can help physicians communicate more effectivelyIf you've ever found yourself dreading certain discussions, whether it's refusing antibiotics for a viral infection or setting expectations for pain management this episode gives you a roadmap to navigate them with ease and confidence.Three Actionable Takeaways:Yes, No, Yes Framework – Start with an internal ‘yes' to your values, set clear boundaries with a ‘no,' and end with a constructive ‘yes' offering alternatives that align with good medicine.Shift from Logic to Emotion – Patients often respond more to emotional validation than pure facts. Acknowledge concerns before explaining the medical reasoning.Unearth the Real Concern – Patients don't always verbalize their true fears. Use open-ended questions to uncover the question behind the question, building trust and addressing the root issue.About the Show: The Physician Guide to Doctoring covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.
