Perks of Being a Manufacturer Rep

by | Nov 28, 2011 | Business

If you are like most people, the recession has you thinking about ways that you can make a little extra income. One of the things you might want to consider is becoming a Manufacturer Rep. You’ll be able to earn extra money for fun things, but not have to worry about your new job interfering with the one that you already have. Besides, the job is pretty interesting.

When you decide to work as a manufacturer rep, you are essentially becoming the face of the company. The impression you leave on the people that you come into contact with is going to have a huge impact on how those same people think of the company that you are working for.

When you are a manufacturer rep, the way that you are going to earn a living is by collecting a commission from the company. The thing that is really nice about becoming a manufacturer rep is that you don’t have to worry about investing any money when you are getting started, the only thing you need to have is a bright smile and a knack for persuading people to purchase a product from you. Many people who ultimately become professional sales reps started out working as manufacturer reps.
The great thing about working as a manufacturer rep is that there really isn’t a cap on the amount of money that you can earn. Some people have been able to build such a loyal following that they’ve been able to break ties with the manufacture they originally represented, create their own company, and actually put the original manufacture out of business.

The great thing about being a manufacturer rep is that it can fit into just about any lifestyle. It is up to you how much time you want to put into things. Some people are only able to work a couple of hours a week, while others quickly decide to turn the concept of being a manufacturer rep into a full time job. The nice thing about this type of work is that after a while you will notice that the amount of money you make in commissions each month seems to be going up, even though the amount of hours that you are working hasn’t changed at all. The reason for this is simple. You are only really working to find new clients but the ones you have already established a relationship with will continue to order more of the product and you’ll continue to get a commission from these additional sales. You’ll be generating a passive income. Eventually, if you want to, you can sit back and stop working altogether and just live off the commissions you collect on your residual sales.
