There are just a few ways left to participate in the American Dream.

Becoming a manufacturers’ representative (we like to call them outsourced field sales professionals) is one of them.

Yes, you can open a small business with very little capital and retire in style in 15–20 years. But it’s not through buying real estate with “no money down” or similar get rich quick schemes.

Becoming a professional sales agency owner is hard work and requires that you have a healthy respect for, but not fear of, risk.

If you are qualified, and many who visit this page will be, due to 10 plus years of corporate business to business sales experience, you will want to explore this section of our MANA web site in detail and then give us a call for a free consultation. No, we won’t try to sell you a timeshare or a stake in an oil and gas drilling venture.

MANA is a 57-year-old, non-profit trade association of over 4,000 professional sales companies that average six employees per firm. The average agency owner takes $150,000–$200,00 per year out of his/her business before tax and spends about $200 per year to keep MANA in business. Our mission is, through a major emphasis on education, to aid in the development and promotion of mutually profitable relationships, ethical standards of behavior and interdependence among multi-line professional sales representatives, their principals and their joint customers, and we think we do that very well.

If you want to know more about becoming a manufacturers’ representative, call us toll-free at (877) 626-2776 for an appointment with one of our executive counselors. They are all former agency owners or current working MANA members and they’ll be proud to share with you the risks and the benefits of this proud and vital profession.
