How to use the Distributor Networking Database
Here are instructions on using the Distributor Networking
Database to find distributors who have answered yes to any
of the questions above:
- Click on Distributor Networking Search.
- Click on "Search all 101 Questions" to view every
question in the database, or click on the "Personnel" button
and "Search by Topic." This loads all of the questions about
personnel from the Networking survey.
- When you click on the box next to a question, a check
mark appears. Click on the "Submit Search" button to find a
list of everyone in the database who answered "yes" to that
question. If you click on multiple questions, you'll get
"hits" only from those who answered yes to all of the boxes
you selected. You may search among distributor companies of
a certain size by clicking on one or more sales volume
category buttons. To remove a check mark from a box, click
on it again.
- The responses show you the company name, size, city and
