Relationships drive distribution. The theory holds up even as automations and AI integrations infiltrate every aspect of business. But how do personal affinity and an enduring professional alliance actually work in practice? 

Darin Arnold has decades of experience forging relationships. As president of Sales Northwest, Inc., a manufacturer’s rep based in Seattle, WA., he’s charged with balancing the needs of distributors and manufacturers on a daily basis. Jason caught up with Darin to discuss the role that relationship-building plays in helping the agency maintain client trust, especially in the fast-paced contractor and industrial supply markets.
