Customer Snapshot
Bauer Nike Hockey
"I can tell our retailers things like, 'This is what I shipped you last quarter by size and color,' and refill orders on the spot. If the ship date is too far out, I can make alternate recommendations right there, which not only makes a sale but helps them meet their own customers' needs."
- Bill McKay, Sales Rep
