Why these venues need you
NY State is a 3-tier state — every new SLA licensee MUST work with a licensed wholesaler. Distributors with NYC sales reps lock in account relationships early in construction.
Best selling moment
T2-T3. Sales rep relationships are sticky — first-call wins repeat orders for years.
