S.W. Anderson built a multi-million dollar business primarily through the field sales efforts of their outside sales teams. Facing increased competition from rival distributors and direct-from-manufacturer sales, S.W. Anderson needed to find more scalable ways to increase share-of-wallet within their existing customer base. They needed a partner that could develop a robust B2B lead generation campaign.
