Why Independent Reps for Automotive Aftermarket Sales Reps?

The most efficient way to scale your sales force.

Distributor & Jobber Access

Reps who already manage WD and jobber relationships can get your line stocked quickly.

Program Knowledge

They understand program groups, planograms, and rebates to secure shelf space.

Field Training

Reps provide counter days and installer training to drive pull-through demand.

The Problem

Is your line missing every planogram?

Without trusted reps in program groups and WDs, your parts never make it to the counter or installer bays.

Distributor Loyalty

WDs stick with known brands unless a rep proves margin and velocity.

No Field Training

Installers and counter staff push what they know; without training, your line gathers dust.

Slow Program Approvals

Program groups delay approvals without someone navigating requirements.

The Solution

Win shelf space with reps embedded in the channel.

Zilla Sales connects you with aftermarket reps who already manage WDs, jobbers, and retail programs, driving stocking orders and pull-through.

Channel & Segment Matching

Filter by WD, jobber, installer, dealership, or retail program experience.

Training & Promotion

Reps who run counter days, clinics, and promotions to build velocity.
