A letter from the Chairman of the Board
Jack Bone
What a great job our NEMEON team and the Board of Directors are doing! Being
able to announce the date and location of the 2017 annual meeting in the September,
2015 newsletter was fantastic! It allows us all time to get our calendars marked and
plan which company reps can attend. The high attendance rate of 100% that we are
constantly striving to attain can certainly be a reality. Strength in numbers is the
major bargaining chip we have with our vendors and a showing of all of our
membership at the annual meetings would certainly go a long way toward solidifying
our relationship with our vendors. As a reminder as well as something to look forward
to, the 2017 meeting will be held from February 14 to February 16 at the Westin
Mission Hills Golf Resort and Spa in Palm Springs, California.
Of significant importance to those of us who are no longer spring chickens, is that the
NEXT GEN program has taken on its own life, bonding the older and younger
generations and empowering the younger generation with knowledge of people in the
same industry across the country, wisdom from the elders, and a vision of the future of
our industry. The company that prepares for the future will be the company that
prospers in the future. The large consolidators (ABC, Allied, etc.) may be bigger in
every way than we are as individual companies, but they can’t touch us when it comes
to our personnel, knowledge of the local markets, the passion for what we do, and the
entrepreneurial spirit that we each bring to the table, and perhaps the best part of all
that is THEY KNOW IT TOO!
As another holiday season approaches, I want to extend to each of you and yours a
happy, healthy, and prosperous 2016. It’s my sincere hope that the 2016 national
election brings to our country a more cohesive and cooperative national government,
and our entire world becomes a more peaceful place. If the number of current
candidates is any indication, there is currently great dissatisfaction nationwide. As we
prepare for business in 2016 and all the unknown challenges that we will face, it’s
important to remember that because we are each a part of NEMEON, we are never
alone and have leadership and support from members all over the country.

The fourth quarter is a very busy time for all of us here at NEMEON;
annual meeting preparations are in full swing, the quarterly dividends
are being sent out, the 2016 budget is being prepared, technology improvements are being discussed, and we are growing the number of
members participating in LionGUARD University. We are also actively monitoring our progress in 2015 and keeping the members informed
of our goals for the end of the year.
This is also the time of year when we start to work on the programs for
2016. We review all of the programs and look for opportunities that
will be a benefit to both our members and preferred vendors. There
are a number of product categories where shifting the share might not
mean much to a member because the sales volume is small; but when
combined with other members there is a meaningful impact for that
vendor. In some cases these sales go to outside vendors when they
could have potentially gone to one of our preferred vendors. Try doing
this with three or four preferred vendors and you will notice a change
in your quarterly reports. If you have any employees that are not familiar with NEMEON please fill them in and let us know if we can
help.
With the predicted slow growth that the industry is facing, it becomes
even more important to shift the share, especially when it comes to the
product categories that support our core businesses. Now is the time
to look where you might have room to transfer some business to our
preferred vendors. Make sure to consider all of the product categories
where we have member programs. Please try doing this before it is
time to submit your appointment requests for the face to face sessions
at the annual meeting.
Any one of the NEMEON team members can help you with information that you might need to make a decision or if you just need
some advice on any specific product categories. We are looking forward to seeing all of you in Galveston at the beginning of February.

All DaVinci Roofscapes® Slate Tiles
Now Showcase Enhanced Profile Design
DaVinci Roofscapes
Mark Hanson
[email protected]
800-328-4624
www.davinciroofscapes.com
LENEXA, KAN. – Following the successful introduction of a new Single-Width Slate
12-inch tile with an enhanced profile in early 2015, leaders at DaVinci Roofscapes® are
excited to announce the availability of the more realistic profiles on its Multi-Width
Slate and Bellaforté Slate polymer roofing tiles.
"All three of our durable slate composite roofing
profiles now boast a truly authentic quarried look,"
says Ray Rosewall, CEO and president of DaVinci
Roofscapes. "The enhancement to the SingleWidth profile was so positively received earlier
this year that we've taken the steps to offer all of
our slate tiles with thicker, more realistic profiles
that accurately replicate real slate."
Details on the edges of the DaVinci slate tiles now
have a more accurate quarried look to them. Deeper impressions in the tiles make them appear thicker, even though they're the same weight as the previous tiles.
"This is just one example of how we're continually
refining our products and making improvements that enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of DaVinci polymer
roofing products," says Rosewall. "As with all our polymer roofing materials, these three slate profiles resist impact, fire and severe weather conditions.
"These are man-made slate tiles that accurately reflect
the look of natural slate. However, they have properties
that are so advanced that we've been able to provide a
lifetime limited materials warranty on them."
Low-maintenance slate tiles from DaVinci resist algae
and moss growth, come in 50 standard colors and are rated for installation
in areas experiencing high winds, hail and
wildfires. DaVinci Multi-Width Slate comes in
five different widths - 12", 10", 9", 7" and 6"
and is available in a number of different color
blends. Single-Width Slate and Bellaforté Slate
tiles from DaVinci are available in a 12" tile
width, also in a variety of color blends.

Member Spotlight
The member spotlight has always been a great way to get a glimpse into the operations of fellow
NEMEON members and in this issue we are sharing many of the interesting things that are going
on at Wausau Supply. Wausau, one of our two step distributors, joined NEMEON in 2005 and is
actively participating in the NEMEON two-step program. I recently had the pleasure of visiting
with Wausau at their facility in Schofield, Wisconsin which houses their corporate offices and
manufacturing facilities.
Corporate Office located at:
7102 Commerce Drive
Schofield , WI 54476
www.wausausupply.com
E-newsletter Available at:
www.NEMEON.coop
Wausau opened their doors for business in 1947, business flourished and in 1965 they purchased
their first delivery truck. They started making deliveries on a planned route where customers could
now count on Wausau being in their area on a regularly scheduled basis. The business kept expanding and by the 1990’s Wausau had established themselves as one of the premier two step distributors in their area. Today Wausau has 17 locations in 10 different states and they offer regularly scheduled service in all of their marketing areas as well as many other programs and product
categories.
I’d like to touch on some of the different product categories that Wausau is involved in as they can
be a great asset to any of the NEMEON members.
Roofing - Wausau carries the entire line of CertainTeed roofing products; when you get a call
for a special request you can feel confident that Wausau will have it in stock and be able
to get it for you in a timely fashion.
Siding – Wausau carries CertainTeed siding and also offers LP’s Smartside product that they
pre-finish under their Diamond Kote label. Wausau has been pre-finishing composite
siding for a long time and has a proven track record of success with their Diamond Kote
products.
Millwork – Wausau manufacturers their own millwork and distributes it under the Waudena
Millwork label. They offer a complete line of millwork for interior and exterior applications along with interior doors, moldings, door frames and a host of other products.
Exterior doors – Wausau’s exterior doors are manufactured in house and have been very popular. They offer wood, steel and fiberglass doors in all sorts of grains and have any option that you could imagine.
This is just a brief list of some of their more popular product categories; they also supply Adhesives, Decking, Engineered Wood, Stone, Insulation, Brick, Ventilation and much more.
After I left my meeting with Wausau I got to thinking about how beneficial the NEMEON two
step program is to our one step members. We all have seen the surge in composite siding products
over the last few years; they are gaining momentum and have experienced share growth over traditional vinyl siding. Having access to the LP Smartside product with Wausau’s Diamond Kote is
the perfect complement to your vinyl siding offering. By working with Wausau on these products
you can offer your contractors a great product and be able to maintain a moderate to low inventory
without causing problems with your customers. If you have a special order and don’t want to have
to place a full truck Wausau can help you with that as they probably will have it in stock. More
importantly you will have access to products that you don’t stock, but have the ability to sell. We
have more and more members getting into the millwork business and having a supplier like
Wausau helps keep your inventory under control with regular scheduled deliveries. Exterior doors
and Decking are good opportunity as you don’t need to carry much inventory; all you need are
some displays and the product knowledge so you can promote these products to your customers.
I really enjoy visiting members because I always find out something new that that I am sure will
be beneficial to another member and my visit to Wausau was eye opening in that regard. All of
the NEMEON two step distributors have a lot to offer each member and I would like to encourage
every member to look at their product offerings too see if a NEMEON two step member can help
out. If you ever have a need for material that you don’t purchase direct from a manufacturer you
should be looking to the NEMEON two step distributors before you look at any supplier outside
of the group. They are set up to service your needs and as a fellow NEMEON member there might
be some additional incentives for you.
There is a good chance that you will be hearing from someone at Wausau as I encouraged them to
have their sales people reach out to the NEMEON members. It was great getting to know more
about Wausau’s business and learning about the different product categories that they are involved
with. Just another reason why I am so proud to be part of such a great organization.

Commercial Corner by Vic Anthony
The “Fluid” Market Place of Roof Coatings
As we close out another strong growth year for sales in commercial roofing
products, there are several changes with the major manufacturers that we need
to keep an eye on in 2016.
First, GAF completed the acquisition of Quest Construction Products in August
of this year. Quest is one of the largest manufacturers of fluid-applied roofing
systems and roof-coating products in North America. Quest brands include Hydro-Stop liquid membrane products and United Coatings line of coating products. Overnight, GAF has become a major player in the coatings business.
We will follow any changes regarding how GAF revamps Quest’s go to market
strategy going forward. Our discussions with GAF for the 2016 programs will include questions on the availability to purchase the Quest products directly from
GAF for our interested members.
Next, Gaco Western has announced a major change in their distribution strategy
throughout the United States. For years, Gaco Western has relied on Prime
Source as its sole two-step distributor. This set up has worked well for a number
of our members, as Prime Source is a Preferred Vendor and has provided excellent service for Gaco’s roof coating products. Prime Source will no longer
have an exclusive on distributing Gaco products. Gaco has contacted us and
they have expressed interest in becoming a Preferred Vendor in 2016 directly
with NEMEON. In addition, several of our members have been contacted by
their local Gaco representative and given pricing for direct purchases from Gaco.
We will present the Gaco program to the Vendor Committee during our next regularly scheduled conference call. We will forward complete details on the program once a final decision has been made on adding Gaco as a Preferred Vendor.
Finally, I want to close by extending my best wishes to all of our members and
their families for a healthy, safe and happy holiday season. See you at the Annual Meeting.

Why Synchrony Financial?
Because we can help you grow your business.
A strong foundation
With over 80 years of retail heritage, Synchrony Financial is a leading consumer financial services company in the United States. Our roots in consumer finance trace back to 1932, and today
we are the largest provider of private label credit cards in the United States, based on purchase
volume and receivables.
We’re set apart by our ability to provide a range of credit products and financial expertise that
help our home improvement business partners generate growth. We help consumers to make the
purchases they really want and need1.
Why your contractor should be offering financing to their customers
It puts the consumers at ease, knowing you’ve opened up the possibilities for them. Because
consumers may have mentally set a cap on spending, waiting until the end of the sales process
limits not only how the consumer thinks about their purchase, but the total sales amount for the
contractor also. Integrating financing into all the communications will result in more leads, closing more business, and increasing the average ticket price.
Based on an average of Synchrony Bank contractor experiences and industry information.
Actual results may vary. Compare with cash purchase.
Why you should be offering financing solutions to your contractor
According to a 2014 Major Purchase Consumer Study by Synchrony Financial, 87% of Home
Improvement Synchrony Bank cardholders feel promo financing makes larger purchases more
affordable. In addition, 51% of Home Improvement Synchrony Bank cardholders who used financing to make their purchase said they would have gone somewhere else, or would not have
made the purchase at all, if financing was not available. The wholesale distribution business is
dependent on the success of the contractors that purchase products. In order to increase your
sales volume, they need to increase theirs. They do this by closing more sales, and by helping
their customer purchase the products they really want.
At Synchrony Financial, you have access to support – from real people, both field and inside
sales support, whose focus is to help you grow your business. Learn more about Synchrony Financial and how we can help you grow your business by calling Alexandra Lewis at (651) 2865626 or email [email protected].

LionGuard University
LionGUARD University is a training initiative that we believe will be successful in helping NEMEON reach our primary objective of connecting NEMEON Distributor Members with our Preferred Vendors.

NEMEON LionGUARD U was launched in February 2013 as a platform to bring cost
effective Preferred Vendor Training to our Members. Historically, training has been
done by suppliers in a “face to face” environment which means that Suppliers and
Member Distributors have to travel to conduct or attend training. Distributor sales
people travel to a Suppliers location for a 1 or 2 day training session, or Suppliers and
sales reps or regional managers to the Distributors’ location to conduct hands on
training. Although this training is effective, it is expensive and timing can be an issue
with the continual introduction of new products/applications. Ultimately Suppliers
need to get their customers trained and up to date on their offering without “waiting to
train” due to busy calendars. LionGUARD U allows Suppliers to post training modules
(new products, repair training, safety training) allowing Member Distributor Salesperson training online 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Each module includes a quiz to
insure students understand and can apply the training on future sales call. LionGUARD U has turned out to be a very cost effective training method, with the average
cost per student trained at under $10 per student! Typical hands on training runs $50
to $250 per student.
As of December 1st, LionGUARD University has over 1,200 distributor member students taking courses and that number is constantly growing. There are 40 courses
available for students and many suppliers preparing to offer their first course to the
member community.
