There is a widely held misconception that fuel retailers are awash with cash and that generating profitable revenue is relatively easy. Nothing could be further from the truth. Imagine selling a product that is completely fungible, almost homogenous and where your customers and competitors alike have complete visibility of every price change.

In this lecture, Ian Thompson, Senior Vice President at Kalibrate , will outline the strategic and tactical challenges faced by fuel retailers. He will describe how retailers around the world are changing to meet their customers' needs and how the very best retailers are able to thrive.
