INW SALES MEETING

Represent your company at one of our Friday morning sales meetings held bi-monthly at our Durant and Norman locations. Discuss current trends or present new items to the sales team for some one-on-one and an increased focus on your company and its brands.

GOLDEN TICKET BOOTH AT INW TRADE SHOW

As a Gateway Partner you have earned the right to be called a Golden Ticket Booth at the Open House Trade Show held at Indian Nation Wholesale’s Durant Warehouse in March.

As retailers place orders at your booth throughout the day, you have the ability to award them with a chance to win a Grand Prize at the end of our show. This means increased sales at the show for you, and double opportunities to win a Gateway Grand Prize for retailers.
