If You Are A Manufacturers Representative Looking For Lines Or Looking For Educational And Professional Resources To Help You Run Your Business Better

You’ve found a home here at MANA if you are looking for more or better lines, or if you are looking for the educational and professional support of a trade association operated by experienced people who understand your business.

Looking for lines? MANA’s Associate Membership (manufacturers) totals over 1,500 companies located in over 25 countries. Our web site receives 600,000 hits and 40,000 user sessions in a typical month, the bulk of which are manufacturers looking through our database of Regular Members (reps like you) for candidates to sell their products. And you can proactively search our Online Directory of Associate Members for new principals and products to add to your line card.

Do you know all there is to know about the rep business? If not, take advantage of MANA’s 58 years of researching and publishing Special Reports and articles in our monthly publication Agency Sales magazine, covering just about every possible aspect of the ever-changing rep profession. Also available to you as a member is a staff of former rep business owners with over 100 years combined experience and a formally trained CPMR graduate ready to take your calls and answer your questions about any aspect of your business.

If You Are A Manufacturer Looking For Manufacturers Representatives

Search the Web for “Manufacturers Representatives” or “Manufacturers Agents,” and you’ll find dozens of web sites offering to do a search for you. Many of these folks may well be able to provide you with a list of viable candidates — for a fee, of course. At MANA, we don’t do the search for you. Instead, we work with you to search our database of over 4,000 professional sales organizations for the best candidates to represent your products in the field. We then go well beyond the search itself. We provide you with information and advice on how to contact prospective representatives, how to conduct the interview, and how to set up a mutually profitable working relationship. For our Manufacturer Members we provide:

  • Contract Guidelines
  • Commission Surveys
  • Legal Referrals
  • Educational Seminars
  • Ongoing Telephone Counseling

You will learn from experience that the best representatives, the cream of the crop, belong to professional trade associations like MANA. MANA is a non-profit trade association, owned and governed by its members, and operated by an experienced and dedicated staff. We exist to serve our members, and we offer a money-back guarantee to any new member who finds that we don’t measure up to their expectations. Call us at (877) 626-2776 or (949) 859-4040 and we’ll help you get started.

Would You Like To Know More About The Outsourced Field Sales Profession?

If you are a teacher, instructor, government official, organization director or manager, or involved in any organization that would like to know more about the role professional field sales organizations play in the world’s economy, give us a call. We’ll provide speakers for your class or your organization’s meeting, or mail you descriptive information about the outsourced field sales profession.
