April 2025 Virtual Meeting
2025-04-30 09:00 - 12:00 | MA
Join us Wednesday, April 30th from 9-11AM, for a members-only virtual meeting where Briggs & Stratton will share details of their new NEGDA-exclusive Sales Program, designed to bring added value and opportunity to our dealer network. As part of the session, they’ll also provide a refreshed look at their home standby and battery backup product line, highlighting key features, recent updates, and what’s ahead.
Alongside the program launch, this session includes a moderated open forum—an opportunity for meaningful, two-way discussion between Briggs & Stratton and NEGDA dealer members. It’s a space for asking questions, sharing feedback, and exploring ideas—on both sides of the table.

Dealer members are asked to submit questions to NEGDA by April 18 so Briggs & Stratton can prepare thoughtful responses ahead of time.
Briggs & Stratton’s questions to dealer members are linked here, giving you time to collaborate with your team, gather any needed info, and come ready to contribute. Please provide your feedback by 4/25.

This is a unique opportunity for open, respectful conversation and stronger collaboration.
Whether you’re currently working with Briggs & Stratton or just interested in learning more, all NEGDA dealer members are encouraged to attend.
This is a members-only event. No other manufacturers, distributors, or vendors will be participating.
Exclusive program, fresh insights, and real dialogue—don’t miss out.

Financial Performance, Sales Incentives & Industry Outlook
Dealer-Only Peer Roundtable | Virtual | February 4
In 2026, NEGDA is shifting its virtual meetings to peer-led roundtables — and this session sets the tone.
This 90-minute virtual discussion is designed specifically for generator dealers who want to better understand how peers are measuring performance, incentivizing teams, and planning for what’s ahead.
Rather than presentations or panels, this session is structured to encourage open, candid sharing — what’s working, what’s changing, and what dealers across the country are seeing in real time.
Discussion Topics Include

Financial metrics dealers actually use to run their businesses
Sales and technician SPIFs, bonuses, and incentive structures
Balancing incentives with profitability
Expansion considerations and growth signals
Industry trends, challenges, and near-term outlook

Why Peer Roundtables?
Based on ongoing member feedback, NEGDA has heard a consistent theme:
dealers want more opportunity to openly discuss real business practices with their peers.
Our 2026 virtual meetings are intentionally designed as peer roundtables to create space for those conversations — the kind that don’t happen in formal presentations or scripted sessions.
This format is only as valuable as participants’ willingness to engage.
We are not sharing proprietary data.
We are not defining “best practices.”
Instead, we are creating a trusted, dealer-only environment where you can:

Hear what’s working (and what’s not) for other dealers
Compare approaches and perspectives
Walk away with ideas, context, and inspiration to level up your own business

This requires showing up prepared to participate — even if it means stepping slightly outside your comfort zone. Growth often comes from hearing how others operate, asking questions, and being open to discussion rather than remaining on the sidelines.
Who Should Attend
This session is open to dealers only.
NEGDA memberships are company-wide, and dealers are encouraged to invite additional staff to attend.
Including team members:

Exposes them to a broader industry perspective
Helps them build a professional peer network
Provides insights that may spark new ideas or improvements within your business

What to Expect
This is a 90-minute, dealer-only peer roundtable, not a presentation.
You can expect:

A structured, moderated discussion designed to give many voices time to participate
Open, candid conversation focused on real-world business practices
Practical insights drawn from peer experience — what’s working, what’s changing, and what’s not

To ensure broad participation, the session will:

Use time limits on individual shares
Be facilitated to keep discussion focused and moving
Prioritize learning from peers rather than arriving at a single “right answer”

This format works best when participants are prepared to listen, contribute, and engage.
How to Prepare
To get the most value from this roundtable, we encourage you to come prepared to:

Share examples at a high level (no proprietary or confidential details)
Speak to what you’re seeing in your business, not what you think others want to hear
Ask questions and learn from peers across different markets and business models

You don’t need slides or formal data — just real perspective.
Participation is encouraged, but how much you share is always your choice. That said, the value of peer roundtables increases significantly when participants are willing to engage rather than observe.
If you’re willing to listen, share, and learn from peers who understand your business, this roundtable is for you.

This event is open to Dealers ONLY and is free, but required.
