Trend Talk Thursday — COE Invitation (2026)

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.

  • COE Invited to Participate: COE Distributing has been invited (February 24, 2026) to participate in CONSOLL's 2026 Trend Talk Thursday series — continuing the strong relationship established in prior years.
  • Next Step: A CFP alignment meeting with Brad Aramcost is pending to confirm COE's session date, topic focus, and presentation format.
This platform gives COE a direct channel to showcase trending products, educate dealers on specifications, and reinforce brand presence across the CONSOLL network — at no additional cost to COE.

CONSOLL Portal Exposure

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.

COE Spiff Program — Currently Featured on the CONSOLL Portal
COE Distributing currently holds a highlighted section on the CONSOLL Portal, actively promoting the COE Spiff program to dealers across the network. This placement drives program awareness, incentivizes dealer engagement, and keeps COE products in active consideration when dealers are quoting projects.
