A key element in establishing long-term relationships between reps and manufacturers is a balanced and well-written agreement. The purpose of this MANAcast is to educate manufacturers on how to structure a contract from the manufacturers’ representatives’ perspectives so it works well for both and considers the uniqueness of their situation.
On this MANAcast we will talk about:
- Why the agreement needs to work well for both parties.
- What to include in the written agreement, plus what not to include, and why.
- Why you should retain a rep-savvy attorney to help write the agreement.
- And more.
Our panelist will be attorney Daniel E. Beederman, a partner in Schoenberg Finkel Beederman Bell Glazer, LLC, a business law firm in Chicago. In addition to serving as MANA’s legal counsel, Beederman and his firm also represent other associations whose members are independent sales representatives and manufacturers who use them, including AIM/R, ERA and others. For over 35 years Beederman has counseled reps and manufacturers on legal and business issues.
A value of belonging to MANA is access to information in many formats that help you improve your relationships with manufacturers’ representatives and vice versa. This MANAcast, a live interview with someone knowledgeable about the topic, is one of them.
