Prepared for COE Distributing by CONSOLL Marketing
CONSOLL is committed to delivering measurable value to our manufacturer partners through a comprehensive suite of marketing, sales enablement, and dealer engagement programs. This report outlines the specific activities undertaken on behalf of COE Distributing during Q1 2026 — demonstrating CONSOLL's proactive work to generate project opportunities, increase brand visibility, and connect COE products with qualified buyers across our dealer and rep network.
Maintaining an accurate and current rep network is foundational to ensuring COE products reach the right decision-makers at the right time. CONSOLL actively manages rep relationships to keep our dealer community well-informed and properly connected to manufacturer resources.
Trend Talk Thursday is one of CONSOLL's premier engagement platforms, connecting manufacturers directly with dealers and reps through educational sessions focused on product knowledge, design trends, and market insights. Participation positions manufacturers as thought leaders and keeps their products top-of-mind within the CONSOLL dealer community.
The CONSOLL Portal is the central hub through which dealers and reps discover manufacturer programs, explore products, and identify spiff and incentive opportunities. Maintaining a visible presence on the portal ensures COE remains competitive for dealer mindshare.
One of CONSOLL's most impactful services for manufacturer partners is our active project referral program. When opportunities arise through our dealer and rep network, CONSOLL proactively recommends COE — connecting dealers with the right products and helping manufacturers get specified early in the sales cycle.
The following project opportunities have been identified and referred to COE Distributing reps for quoting and specification during Q1 2026:
