A 2008 human resource study of distributors "The Quest for Human Talent" prepared for the Industrial Supply Association by Dr. W.R. McCleave found the most difficult human resource challenge was finding qualified people for all jobs.  Finding sales talent was the second most difficult challenge.  Less than 5 percent of small distributors and 40 percent of large distributors felt they were successful in meeting the challenge of finding sales challenge.
