Preferred Members Program

The Preferred Member program is the most effective, high return program that Consolidated Concepts offers. There is a monthly fee, but it is guaranteed. With the Preferred Member program, you’re essentially getting the same support and expertise as you would from a VP of Purchasing without the 6-figure salary. You’re more likely to save 6-figures on this program. A team of experts is continually working on your behalf to reduce costs while improving the quality of your products. The savings resulting from years of expertise, combined with the purchasing power of 14,000 member locations, cannot be matched. And most importantly, we’re not making the decisions or replacing your purchasing team; we’re just presenting you with the opportunities.
