How One Honda Distributor Increased Orders 300% (And Sold Out Inventory) Using “Free” Co-op Dollars - Garlic Marketing Show | Lyssna här

How do distributors find better leads and close deals faster?

Tim Rasmussen, Founder of Rivet|MRO, explains why most distributors struggle with lead quality and how data changes that process. By analyzing real customer data and identifying high-value segments, teams can target prospects that are more likely to buy.

This approach, often called customer cloning, helps sales teams get into accounts faster, close deals sooner, and increase order size. In some cases, results include a 300% increase in orders and significant sales growth. The episode also covers how clickable catalogs and digital tools support sales and how a consistent social media presence builds credibility. In one case, this led to a $190 million opportunity from a prospect that had been watching over time.

This is part two of a two-part series on how distributors can use data, digital tools, and co-op marketing to drive sales growth without increasing spend.
