Rosemont, IL (Aug. 20, 2020) — EPIC Business Essentials is proud to announce record total sales for the first half of 2020, which were more than 30% above 2019 sales totals, despite the COVID-19 downturn in the general market. This success is a testament to its industry-leading national account sales program. EPIC’s innovative sales approach brings with it the ability to adapt quickly and convert business opportunities for their membership. EPIC has added over 30 new members in 2020 and continues to act as a sales accelerator for the Independent Dealer Channel.
“The EPIC team has worked diligently in the first half of this year to secure new business avenues for our dealer members. Our ability to source and sell hard to find PPE items, add new furniture lines to our offering, and secure a significant number of new customers via our Omnia Partners public sector contract, have kept us on a positive sales trajectory despite challenging economic times.” Says Scott Zintz, managing director.
EPIC is equally optimistic for the rest of 2020. They are currently working to onboard over 50 independent dealers, as the website and operational platform for the new Essendant Premier Healthcare contract. These 50 dealers are just the beginning of what is seen as a very promising new opportunity for the independent dealer community to secure health care-related business. EPIC has secured three new state government partnerships since the beginning of 2020 and is in discussions with several others via a new effort to expand beyond their current public sector offering. Commercial and federal government opportunities also continue to thrive with the successful launch of EPIC 2.0, due to increased sales/training support and significantly lower fee structures.
