Get ready for a different kind of episode. Rex Miller takes the mic and interviews Sid and three other industry veterans who have united to create The Collaborative Network. This is a game-changing initiative providing structured support programs for small furniture manufacturers. Listen as Rex asks the tough but relevant questions about how this group plans to address the unique challenges of over 3,400 small manufacturers who previously lacked dedicated resources for growth and development.

  • Michelle Warren brings public sector expertise and small business advocacy
  • Julie Dillon specializes in independent rep management and sales strategy
  • Erin Torres offers brand development and marketing strategy expertise
  • Sid Meadows provides business advisory and coaching for small manufacturers
  • Their research identified five key challenges: market access, sales strategy, technology adoption, strategic planning gaps, and lack of community
  • They've created three tailored programs for businesses at every level: CEO Peer Group, Emerging Business Incubator, and Sales Director Peer Group
  • These programs are designed specifically for growth-minded leaders wanting to compete against larger manufacturers
  • Their vision: to be seen as trusted growth partners helping small businesses dominate
