What we are hearing

Our Customers Can’t Wait for Factrees

Courtney Little

President, Ace Glass

There are a lot of underutilized resources in the market because manufacturers have a hard time finding good representatives and those representatives are always looking for new products and solutions to bring to market. Factrees has a great solution to the problem with an efficient tool and process that helps manufacturers and representatives connect.

Tina McConoughey

CEO, Source Force

As an independent rep new accounts and product lines come via word of mouth or google search so having the ability to connect via Factrees will be beneficial in growing and connecting relationships that I may not have had before. This is a simple and detailed way to promote my business as well as the products I represent.

Ron Smith

President/CEO, Curtis Stout

Like most business segments, the manufacturer’s rep industry is shifting and experiencing tremendous change. There is a groundswell of realignment between manufacturers and independent rep organizations. Factrees offers a valuable tool; a professional approach to connect / match all manufacturers with quality sales agents. Our company highly recommends Factrees and it’s a positive impact.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Factrees is truly a different kind of community than anything out there today.
Here are a few of the most commonly asked:

What is the Pricing or How much does this cost?

Signing up and creating a profile will be free. There will be a monthly subscription for expanded features and information. The pricing is still being developed but it will be well below other similar offerings in this space.

Can you buy manufacturers products on Factrees, like on Amazon?

No, Factrees is focused specifically on the backend sales process between manufacturers, reps, and distributors.

How is this different from LinkedIn?

LinkedIn is a personal profile system geared toward jobs and networking. While we both have company profiles, LinkedIn is not designed to match reps, manufacturers, and distributors together, nor does it capture the specific information Factrees does.

Is Factrees geared to a specific industry or vertical?

We are initially focusing on the Construction Industry since there is a high concentration of customers that would benefit from our service, however, Factrees works for any product, industry or territory.

Is Factrees available to companies outside the US?

While our model works globally, we are initially only focusing on US-based companies.
