Sales Representatives
The Manufacturer Representative Association is a list of independent manufacturers sales reps that are looking for employment. The advantage of using independent sales reps in consumer products as compared to a factory direct salesperson is cost. It can save a manufacturer or importer tens of thousands of dollars to use an independent rep.
Independent Advantage
There are a number of reasons why an independent multi-line representative is advantageous--and these are the representatives we have in our rep pool at MRP. One of the major advantages is personalized service. You will be able to work one on one with a sales rep. This is important for all manufacturers and importers--both if the business produces a common product or something entirely unique.
Another advantage with an independent agent is that these agents normally stay in a territory for a long-term period. In our preliminary interview, we determine a rep's experience with certain products and certain territories. You can be certain that the rep has built up a number of relationships with corresponding buyers.
When combined with the savings in time and money to find a good rep, this can mean a boost to long and short-term profits. This can only happen if your business finds a compatible independent sales rep. In this light, you could say that MRP is in the compatibility business--we help you build a team that is compatible with your business and successful in the field.
