Security is a Priority

Your company’s financial data is compiled from a confidential, financial performance survey administered by Industry Insights.

Regarded as one of NAED's most beneficial offerings, the results from this survey provide insight into distributors' key financial categories so you can see how you are performing against your peers. The final benchmarking report offers distributors an up-to-date picture of their financial performance as well as benchmarking information on operations, assets, and sales breakouts for sales volume, customer segments, number of locations and regions.
