Why Use a Manufacturers Rep


How does a manufacturers’ representative differ from a direct sales rep?

Manufacturers’ representatives are under contract with the manufacturer to sell and service accounts in their territory. The supplier incurs no expense for sales and marketing until their product is sold and paid for.  The representative is then paid a commission based on the net price of the sale after the manufacturer has been paid by the customer.  The biggest difference between a manufacturers’ representative and a direct sales force is the expense incurred by the manufacturer.  They are obligated to pay a direct sales force whether they sell anything or not.  This fixed expense is then passed on to the customer.

Single Point of Contact?

Let GTI Manufacturing help make your job easier!

Isn’t it better to deal directly with the manufacturer?

We are direct extensions of our manufacturers.  As commissioned sales people, we are more strongly motivated to handle all your problems in a timely manner than someone who is on salary might be.  And since we have multiple suppliers for many commoditiies we can assist you in making the best business decision for you.  We take a very personal interest in the success of your project and are dedicated to making your experience with GTI Manufacturing and our manufacturers one that will keep you coming back to us for your future projects.

Is a representative and a distributor the same thing?

No. Distributors may sell many different brands of any given part and keep parts in stock. A representative sells exclusively for one manufacturer and does not stock anything.
