More than a Source –
a Resource and a Hungry Fighter
Harvey MacKay says it best,
“The best sales rep is a hungry fighter. We show up. We work hard. We outperform.”
We don’t get compensated for our efforts unless we sell something. Our set rate commissions become a variable cost to the manufacturers. The less we sell, the less we make.
Our ability to outperform direct employee sales force starts with the inherent benefits of product line synergy and continues with the caliber of rep sales personnel. Our success is linked to productivity and our contacts in the territory.
We are proactive, persistent, and passionate about succeeding.
Lower Sales Cost
Working with Hilco is a cost-effective business strategy. We’re a multi-faceted team instead of fewer single individuals where our Manufacturers’ gain more significant results for fewer dollars.
Since we are not in single-line product selling, we present broad-based solutions to customer’s problems, rather than the price & delivery. We can also afford to call on customers too small to be profitable for a single line.
Plus, Hilco pays for recruiting & selecting, talented employee compensation, FICA/FUTA, state tax, Medicaid, health insurance, 401K/matching, workers comp, accounting & legal expenses, travel & entertainment, auto expense, dues & subscriptions, employee replacement expenses, marketing, sales meetings & training, account investment, and facilities expenses (business insurance, rent, furniture, computers, iPads, cell phones, postage, office supplies, utilities, administrative support, maintenance)
