Ross Silverstein, founder, president and CEO of iPROMOTEu, remarked, “The economic challenges of 2008 forced distributors to closely inspect and assess their business practices. With fewer banks and vendors willing to extend credit, many distributors were in trouble.” Silverstein continued, “iPROMOTEu became a lifeline for some of these companies, providing order financing, better supplier pricing and more time to sell. Distributors who are affiliated with iPROMOTEu are well—positioned to thrive in the current economic environment, and I anticipate that many more experienced distributors and salespeople will decide to affiliate with iPROMOTEu in 2009.”
