Healthy Choices – Organization

Why wait for spring cleaning? This new year, make the choice to get your company organized and prepared for growth in 2012. The needs of your company organization may vary, but if you are unsure of where to begin, consider restructuring the tasks of your company employees (are the duties of each employee clearly designated?), organization of filing systems (both electronic and paper), organization within each department, holiday scheduling, company activities, and more.

If the thought of this task already causes anxiety, consider hiring a professional organizer. The role of a third party can be extremely beneficial as an impartial pair of eyes into your business.

As a part of your New Year’s organization, consider reviewing your brand, retail scope, company goals, and partnerships.

What should a qualified representative accomplish?

A qualified representative should be realistically qualified and experienced in specific retail venues. Representatives that claim to work with all retail cannot possibly have the depth of knowledge that a focused manufacturer representative has.

A qualified representative should be focused on growing revenue for your company. As such, they should offer fair and reasonable compensation for their services.

Qualified manufacturer representatives should have the ability to speak the language of their retailer(s), create presentations according to their standards, be in contact with or have connections to the buyers/assistant buyers, and they should have knowledge of the undisclosed nuances that will help your company succeed.

If a program is denied, your manufacturer representative should have a plan of action for where to go next. If a program is accepted, your manufacturer representative should be aware of the next steps, and what will be expected from your company.

What are the dangers of working without a Manufacturer Representative?

Without proper knowledge and proper representation, your company may be subject to missed opportunities, from a revenue standpoint, and a brand building position.

The risks involved with a qualified manufacturer representative are minimal, but the benefits are vast. Working with a manufacturer representative requires little to no investment, and high payoffs. Given this information, it only makes sense to find the right manufacturer representative for you company.
