What is an Independent Sales Representative? 

An independent sales representative is a sales representative who sells the products or services of multiple companies on an on-going basis. If you are currently an independent sales representative or you are considering becoming an independent sales rep, the most important thing you can do is surround yourself with money generating opportunities.  As an independent sales representative, your time is valuable because your time is money! 

Being an independent sales representative generally means autonomy.  Independent sales representatives are considered independent contractors. As an independent sales representative, you work your own hours often right out of your own home. 

Independent sales representatives typically are offered higher commission structures. Most reps are paid on a straight 100% commission basis by manufacturers when they represent their product line. Most often independent sales representatives are not given benefits or reimbursed for their expenses. 

The Independent Sales Network was created for sales representatives with experience selling medical products and devices.  The purpose of Independent Sales Network is to help independent sales representatives network with medical manufacturers on an ongoing basis by joining a professional online environment.  Networking through the Independent Sales Network will assist independent sales representatives by helping them locate great medical product lines to sell and thereby increase their overall income potential.

Does the ISN offer Resume Database Access?

No. The ISN offers a confidential networking approach for independent sales representatives. Sales representative's contact information and resumes are not viewable to Manufacturers or Distributors.Sales representatives often do not like to post their information on traditional job boards because they feel it might jeopardize their current situation. The ISN provides a different approach to the job hunt by allowing job seekers to take a proactive approach within a confidential forum.

As with any network, sales representatives are encouraged to take an active role in contacting manufacturers and distributors directly to discuss potential opportunities.
