Sales Representatives
In the past, quality reps were found via word of mouth. The reputation would spread for certain reps and these reps would bring in more and more work. However, this isn't the greatest method of building out your sales force because the hottest reps could be unavailable and the success of this strategy depends a great on legwork and professional connections in your target market.
As a result, companies often would settle for sub-par representatives; wrong reps are a major problem in most industries. In many cases, reps are very good at their jobs but they simply don't have contacts built up with industry-specific buyers. These relationships are just as important as a rep's basic sales ability. Ideally, you want to combine the two: great sales ability with a long contact list.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Some sales agents will be great at selling a particular kind of product but not another. Perhaps he has contacts built up in one area, but is weak outside that specific arena. These are the major issues which word-of-mouth cannot possibly cover. MRP is here to fill that void. There's no reason to wait around for a hot tip about a sales agent. We can find you one in no time.
MRP is called Manufacturers Representative Profile for a reason. We provide a detailed profile on all of the reps in our database. Because it is free for the reps to fill out the profile, you can be certain that we have a comprehensive database of reps in areas of industry. However, we do screen candidates so that we can recommend the best reps to your business. You will never again have to work with a rep who is not experienced with selling products in your line.
