Implications: Use This Data to Elevate and Empower Your Club Teams • Build more club buy-in among company leadership. If club importance isn’t growing at your company, what’s the hold up? • Make the case for more resources. What investments are your peers making that you’re not? • Get past the “alternative” mindset. Are your club teams still reporting to an “alternative” channel head? • Approach each club with a long-term plan. Do your Costco, Sam’s, and BJ’s teams still lack a formal, forwardlooking strategy? • Get global with Costco (at least consider it). Why wait until its too late? You will get left behind. • Provide direction and differentiation. Sam’s and BJ’s need some guidance. Why not step up before one of your competitors does?
