What is a Manufacturer’s Representative?
As defined by the Association of Sales & Marketing Companies:
“An agent representing a manufacturer in a specific geographical area, usually on a contractual basis, usually handles non-competing but related lines of goods.”
Why not call the Ingredient Manufacturer’s directly?
Just as companies outsource areas such as Accounting, HR, Legal, and IT, outsourced Sales enables the companies we work with to do what they do best; manufacture quality ingredients, while leaving the Sales and Marketing to us.
Doesn’t this add another layer to costs?
Quite the opposite, we act as the companies’ sales force in the field. This enables the companies we represent to fix their sales costs. With today’s ever increasing hiring, travel, and healthcare costs, the benefits of using a Manufacturer’s Representative is more substantial today than ever before.
