How to Become an Independent Rep
by Reps4Hire on 01-04-2012 in Independent Reps, Manufacturer Reps, ConsultantsAn independent manufacturer's representative can be an individual or small business that represents one or more manufacturers' products in the marketplace. Independent Manufacturer representatives are often independent sales reps that choose to represent one manufacturer or several manufacturers of complementary products at the same time and work on commission only compensation for sales closed. Independent reps in the USA are also known as 1099 reps.
Selecting products or specific manufacturers to represent can be based on the independent manufacturer sales reps preferences, such as already established contacts, sales experience or may be product specific. An independent sales rep working on commission only is often very selective in choosing their products, whether directly from a manufacturer, inventor or major distributor.
Browse product categories to find products offered by manufacturers. Contact one or more of the manufacturers of your choice and request information about becoming an independent manufacturer sales representative for their products.
