Whether the product you want to bring to market or expand the market penetration of is a clothing line, a food product, or industrial tools, getting to a company's buyer takes a level of marketing savvy and, better yet, industry knowledge and connections. It takes planning and effort to get your products from the manufacturing centers to the end users, and historically commission-only wholesale sales reps have the skills and connections to help your business bridge that gap.

As a wholesale manufacturer, obtaining distribution alone can be a challenge, especially if you are a start-up business. Having an online presence can help sales in a passive selling way. To speed up the process, independent sale representatives work their territory and contacts to open up wholesale accounts to move your products in established distribution channels.

Even if your company has an in-house sales staff, wholesale commission-only sales reps can provide you with the sales experience and expertise for your area with the additional asset of utilizing the profit motive. Wholesale and manufacturing sales reps work under a financial pressure since their income and job security depend on the amount of your goods and services they sell. To get your product off the ground quickly and profitably, a commission-only wholesale sales rep can be the greatest leverage point for success. The experience wholesale sales reps have accumulated working with businesses or government buyers brings manufacturers the great benefit of access to their knowledge of what type of products or services buyers are looking for.
