Q. Why is IMRA endorsing Replink?

A. The Incentive Manufacturers and Representatives Association (IMRA) was formed to help suppliers and independent reps work more efficiently together. That's why 10-years ago, IMRA helped fund a portion of the original RepLink software. And why during that time, nine out of the past ten IMRA presidents have been directly involved with the RepLink System. IMRA is also involved in activities designed to support and grow the motivation industry. RepLink is the only system linking suppliers and their reps to the qualified incentive buyers that everyone is trying to reach. As a result, with our magazine and trade show partners, we are committed to expanding the sales possibilities in the incentive industry and growing the sales of each of our clients.

 

Q. Why do reps get RepLink for free?

A. It's not because reps are too cheap to buy it! We did it because to make RepLink a truly powerful management, communications, sales and marketing tool for suppliers, every rep has to have easy access to the system. No excuses. No barriers. No reasons that you can't demand full and enthusiastic participation. Bottom line is this: when reps have the software, suppliers win.

 

Q. How many of my reps are using RepLink?

A. RepLink is an integrated system. The more of your reps that use it, the better. That's why most of our RepLink suppliers demand that all of their reps be on the system. Because there are no barriers to rep participation, there are no good reasons for a rep company not to use RepLink. In fact, some suppliers have even changed their contracts to require it.

Q. I don't have the budget for RepLink this year. Can I still get in next year?

A. Of course but it will be more expensive and you and your reps will be well behind the power curve. The fact is, you probably already have the necessary money in your budget to subscribe to RepLink right now. It's a simple case of reallocation. Reduce your overnight charges, examine staff hours, review catalog and price list printing plus any other promotional printing you might be planning. Look at direct mail and show promotion budgets. There are a host of marketing and sales expenses that can be shifted or reassigned in order to cover RepLink costs.
