HOW DO I REGISTER TO RECEIVE CPA CHEQUES FROM THE NGCOA CANADA?
Registering is simple. If your Gordon Food Service, Sysco, Pratt’s or Flannigan’s account number is linked to your entegra account then you will automatically be registered for the program. If you are new to entegra, or do not think your distributor account is aligned to entegra contact Jim Thompson, at the NGCOA Canada to get registered in minutes.
DO CPAs AFFECT OTHER REBATES I RECEIVE?
No.TheonlyrequirementtobeeligibleforClientPriceAllowancesisthatyou are not registered with another Group Purchasing Organization (GPO).
DO I RECEIVE A CPA REBATE BASED ON TOTAL PURCHASES MADE THROUGH MY DISTRIBUTOR?
Rebates are earned only when purchasing products that are on the CPA list and not on total purchases. However, the more you align your purchases with those that are on the list, the greater your rebates will be. Itreallyisthateasy–picktherightbrands/productsandmakemoremoney.
