Why Independent Reps for Construction Materials Sales Reps?

The most efficient way to scale your sales force.

Distributor & Dealer Access

Reps who already sell through regional distributors and supply houses can add your line immediately.

Spec-In Expertise

Get your products written into plans and protect against value engineering with reps who influence architects and GCs.

Local Jobsite Coverage

Independent reps are on-site with crews and can manage change orders and training without flying in W2 teams.

The Problem

Are you getting value engineered off the spec?

If you are not in the plans early or have no one covering the job sites, competitors will undercut you before materials are ordered.

Spec Locked by Competitors

Architects and GCs stick with the products they already trust unless someone makes the case to switch.

No Local Coverage

Without a rep on the ground, change orders and installation questions stall projects.

Travel Heavy W2 Teams

Flying internal reps to every jobsite is expensive and slow.

The Solution

Be on the spec and on the jobsite.

Zilla Sales connects you with independent building materials reps who already have GC, distributor, and architect relationships.
