Why use a Sales Representation and Marketing Services Firm?

 * Knowledgeable and Experienced Sales Force

Whether you are an established manufacturer or this is your first creation, an association with a Rep firm can provide you with an instant conduit to the major resellers in the country. In addition, a Rep firm can go to work for you immediately, presenting your new product directly to the decision-makers.

 * Low Cost

The cost of hiring an experienced sales force with salaries, benefits, expenses, etc. can be an exorbitant expense for most manufacturers. A Rep firm offers you a less expensive alternative.

 * Leverage

Established Rep firms have good relationships with the national retailers, relationships that in some cases have been nurtured over several years. Working with a Rep firm allows the manufacturer to leverage these established relationships to get your product on the shelves. 

* Feedback

With a continual physical presence at the retail level, the Rep firm can communicate all types of markets, competitive, and accounts information. Receiving this information in a timely manner can improve your strategic decision-making.
