Are you interested in selling your manufacturers’ rep business?
Or perhaps buying an agency or merging with one?
MANA offers an “Agency/Business Opportunities” section in Agency Sales magazine. Agents place ads in this section when they look to buy, sell or merge with other reps.
Now, through the Premium Email “Agency/Business Opportunities” program, we send your ad via email to targeted members. “Agency/Business Opportunities” Premium Email advertisers can select recipients by either Product Classifications, locations or both.
A concern is that those who plan to sell or retire do not want to divulge that information. As with the Agency Sales print ad, MANA offers a “Blind Box” option. An interested party responds directly to MANA and MANA forwards the email to the advertiser. The advertiser then chooses whether he can safely contact the interested party.
If you are a single-person rep firm, the new “Agency/Business Opportunities” Premium Email ad program holds special interest for you. Historically, when single-person reps retire, they close the business and disappear. Unlike multiple-person agencies with succession plans, the single rep receives no compensation for the business they created.
The “Agency/Business Opportunities” Premium Email ads provide more opportunities for single-person reps to connect with start-ups. This creates a win-win-win scenario — the retiring rep gains added retirement income and the start-up begins with an established business, and the principal retains territory coverage.
Cost of the Premium “Agency/Business Opportunities” ad is $449. MANA Members receive a 20% discount.
To maintain confidentiality, MANA will not post the “Agency/Business Opportunities” Premium Email ads on the website, in the iToolbox e-newsletter, nor publish them in Agency Sales without your consent.
