Our October Magazine has landed!

The October edition of Dealer Support magazine is now live and ready to read!

As we step into the final quarter of the year, the world remains gripped by the unfolding events in Israel, which have undeniably dominated the headlines. While the situation is cause for concern, there’s a prevailing sentiment among analysts that its repercussions may extend well beyond the Middle East. Brace for the resurgence of rising oil prices, further inflation, and added strains on the already fragile global economy.

The consensus, up until recently, had been that the dealer community was on a path to smoother sailing, riding the wave of pandemic recovery. However, current events threaten to cast a shadow on the progress achieved thus far. Yet, if there’s one thing we know about independent resellers, it’s that they are masters at weathering storms. Undoubtedly, the challenges ahead will be met with the characteristic resilience and tenacity of our community.

This issue spotlights two remarkable dealers: Greys Office Supplies, known for its ambitious journey from a family business to an international office supplier, and Red-Inc, which focuses on people, the planet, and profit rather than diversification.

Integra is tackling the challenge of preparing dealer businesses for the future with enthusiasm, while Steve Carter, MD at Advantia, offers insights into various management styles. The magazine also explores ergonomic product trends for the hybrid work environment and offers expert advice on keeping offices clean and bug-free in winter. As always, there’s a moment of relaxation in the Teabreak section and wise words from the Good Father. Don’t miss this inspiring edition!
