Event Details
Are you a solo rep navigating the unique challenges and opportunities of running a one-person manufacturers’ rep firm? You’re not alone!
Join us for a special Virtual Networking Event created specifically for MANA members who operate as solo reps. This is your chance to connect with peers who understand the demands of wearing every hat in your business—from sales to operations to strategy.
Whether you’ve been in business for years or are just starting out, this informal session is a space to:
-
Share best practices and tools that make your business run smoother
-
Swap stories and strategies with those who “get it”
-
Expand your network with fellow professionals from across the country
-
Ask questions and offer advice in a supportive, rep-focused environment
All MANA members are welcome to attend—whether you’re a solo rep or not. If you have experience or insight that could benefit others, we encourage you to join the conversation and offer your advice.
Bring your coffee, your questions, and your curiosity. We look forward to seeing you there!
