"It is these differences that distributors need to understand about Millennials so they can work more effectively with them." According to Wilson, some of the many points discussed in the webinar include the following: • 10,000 Millennials turn 21 every day. • In less than 10 years, three out of four workers will be Millennials. • Millennials are the most educated generation in U.S. history, with 63 percent having college degrees; this also means they likely will be hired into management positions."And one of the key themes of the webinar is just how 'online-focused' millennials are," adds Wilson. "For instance, most make purchasing decisions based on online searches and are eight times more likely to become a repeat customer of these online vendors." This is critical information for distributors to understand. It means that many of the traditional and current ways distributors market products, such as cold-calling or providing hard-copy catalogs, are fast becoming things of the past. "The Millennials are likely to be a challenge for some distributors who have been in the business for many years," says Wilson. "The webinar discusses these challenges [with the goal of] helping distributors find ways to address them."
