Know Your Manufacturing Clients' Market

The most lucrative opportunities in outside sales happen where manufacturers or distributors are starting to break into new markets. New markets can be either new territories, expanding into the government buying sector, or adding new products to the list a business currently orders. To grow quickly, manufacturers often depend on an outside force of independent sales reps to jumpstart sales with their knowledge of a territory and buyers ... and are used to getting paid based on performance.

As a manufacturers sales rep looking for new industrial products, or manufacturers and distributors introducing additional lines, consider what you know about the needs of your current customers. Then find the wholesale manufacturers on RepHunter.net who have products or services that can meet those needs. If you provide IT or industrial equipment to your clients, is there a missing or auxiliary product that they mention that you could add?

Leverage your customers trust in you and figure if your industrial customers have additional needs you can service? Search in your territory for companies looking to expand who sell these additional products. Or contact these companies about outside sales rep opportunities if they aren't represented yet in your sales region. Identify where there are new contracts just waiting to happen, and add product lines based on that.

Combine Your Wholesale Contacts &Selling Experience

Having a job as a wholesale sales rep for manufacturers requires B2B experience, not just that which is gained through education. That ability to understand an industry’s technical jargon or engineering specifications gained through years of relationship building with buyers is invaluable.
