MANA Mentors
What is the MANA Mentors program?
MANA Mentors are experienced members who volunteer their time to guide and support fellow reps. Whether you are just starting out or looking to refine your agency, these mentors are here to share their knowledge, answer your questions, and help you succeed.
What can I ask about?
If you’re reaching out, you’ve already taken a smart step forward. Some of the most common questions we hear include:
How do I launch and grow a successful rep agency?
Where can I find new lines and opportunities?
What should I know about contracts?
What are my options when I’m ready to sell my agency?
How do I handle employees interested in ownership?
How do I maximize results when working with reps?
No question is too basic or too complex—we’re here to help.
Who should I connect with?
Browse the mentor profiles below to learn more about their backgrounds. You’re welcome to contact a single mentor or reach out to several. If one of us isn’t the right fit, we’ll point you in the right direction.
Is this confidential?
Absolutely. Conversations with a MANA Mentor are private and stay between you and your mentor—unless you specifically give us permission to share.
Any fine print?
Just a little: Mentors are volunteers, not attorneys or financial advisors. The guidance your receive reflects their personal experience.
MANA makes no representations as to the suitability of the advice or recommendations provided by volunteers for any particular purpose.
