Why Use a Manufacturers’ Representative for Your Products?
Representatives are:
An avenue to cost savings.
We are paid solely based on performance through commissions rather than a salary plus incentive and expenses like direct sales staff.
This is one of the most common reasons for hiring a manufacturers’ representative.
Able to help ‘seal deals’ with complimentary lines.
ERSN can present broad-based solutions instead of focusing on price and delivery as is common with single-product sales.
The breadth of our line allows you, the manufacturer, visibility to opportunities you might not know of otherwise.
We can afford to call on smaller customers that might not be profitable using a direct sales staff.
Local reps have stronger customer relationships.
ERSN has ongoing relationships with customer decision-makers which gives us the ability to know when the customer may need your products before projects go out to
bid.
Strong relationships provide more opportunities for meaningful feedback and ‘last look’ opportunities.
Aware of local projects long before they ‘hit the streets’.
By working closely with local engineers, developers, end users and specifiers on the front end of projects, ERSN can get your lines specified, while working to
limit competition, providing the opportunity for increased margins and strategic partnerships.
An even bigger advantage when your representation is local to your customers.
We can inspect and resolve issues in the field more quickly and easily due to our close proximity to the job site.
