GLMmarketplace.com has introduced a new “Rep Find” feature, which offers manufacturers and manufacturer“s representatives an exclusive opportunity to connect online. Accessed electronically through GLMmarketplace.com, the feature serves as a “virtual lines wanted/reps wanted board” for consumer products. The new feature allows manufacturers visiting the GLMmarketplace site to post and respond to requests for product representation. Through the same site, manufacturer“s reps can post and respond to requests for new lines. In the future, “Rep Find” will be further enhanced to allow manufacturers and representatives to automatically receive posted requests according to their registered profiles. “In an effort to serve all aspects of the industry, we“ve expanded GLMmarketplace beyond buyer and suplier to service manufacturers and sales representatives. We feel that the inclusion of “Rep Find” is a step towards meeting the needs of the manufacturer and the sales rep online and giving them a cutting edge forum to conduct business,” said Phil Burke, vice president, George Little Management, Inc.
