Here's what PTDA members say about the PAR:

"The UNLAUB Company has participated in the PAR survey for several years. We have found it very beneficial to be able to evaluate UNLAUB with similar sized companies in our industry. Every year we glean new insight from the data and comparisons the PAR survey provides. It gives us a vantage point to examine and compare our strengths -- AND our weaknesses -- that is not available from any other source. It is one of the most valuable benefits we get from our PTDA membership -- and the price is right!"

Rod Coulter, President
The Unlaub Company, Inc.
Tulsa, Okla.

"The PTDA PAR report adds so much valuable information which enables you to gauge your performancein this industry. Without the PAR report, it is like driving a car without power steering -- it's so old school. If you want to know how you are doing, you need measurement tools, and the PTDA PAR report gives you the tools you need to ensure your company is continually improving year over year."

Rex Davis, Vice President Supply Chain
IBT, Inc.
Shawnee Mission, Kan.

"Participating in the PAR Survey is a solid value. For a minimal investment of time and no direct costs, we get information that helps us take positive actions to assist us in profit improvement. If you're benchmarking against the industry, the PAR is an absolutely invaluable tool for your company."

Ken Miko, Vice President
BDI
Cleveland, OH

"It's time to move on -- the Performance Analysis Report is the best tool I have to help me prioritize our future plans. The Summary Financial Results is a snapshot comparison against high-profit companies, companies in my size range and those in my geographical region. There are very few resources that allow me to compare our company's business against others in the marketplace. In return for a bit of time in completing the data, I get a focused, industry-specific benchmark that will assist us in making data-driven strategic decisions for our company."

Doug Savage, President
Bearing Service Inc.
Livonia, Mich.

The PAR is conducted in complete confidentiality by the Profit Planning Group, a third-party vendor.

For those not qualified to participate in the PAR, the summary PT Distributor Performance Report is available for purchase ($169.95 to members; $299.95 to non-members).
