Tim and Carolina today discussing 2-step, 3-step and direct distribution for manufacturers. Helpful? or take away control? Disintermediation isn't just about selling direct, and supply chain is more than just materials and logistics.

How staying close to your client and end user affects sales, culture, product quality and success.

Entrepreneurial in every sense, Audree from www.ModularSureSite.com has specific career advice for all of us in the industry. A not-to-be-missed, live from IBS2020 in Las Vegas, www.BuildPerspectives.com episode.

In an industry saturated with 200+ product certifications, how is a consumer, designer, specifier, end-user, installer, municipality, building official, or developer supposed to tell what's good and what's bad? What material to use over another?

A lot of these so-called certifications are self reported. Some are simply good marketing. What if a building materials manufacturer certified the whole company rather than just a specific line of products?

How does that change what's possible in our industry? www.BuildPerspectives.com
