Why Independent Reps for Contract Manufacturing Sales Reps?

The most efficient way to scale your sales force.

OEM & Brand Relationships

Reps with existing engineering and sourcing contacts can bring you RFQs immediately.

Category Expertise

Find reps fluent in CNC, sheet metal, plastics, electronics, or assembly who can vet fit before quoting.

Bid-to-Win Speed

Independent reps shorten RFQ cycles by knowing decision-makers and typical pricing thresholds.

The Problem

Are your machines idle while quotes stall?

Cold outreach to sourcing and engineering rarely wins complex RFQs. You need reps trusted to place work with the right shop fast.

No Sourcing Relationships

Procurement leans on known vendors; unknown shops rarely get a shot.

Wrong-Fit RFQs

Without category-savvy reps, you waste time quoting parts outside your sweet spot.

Long Sales Cycles

Engineering sign-off, PPAP, and quality checks drag on without a trusted advocate.

The Solution

Get qualified RFQs from trusted reps.

Zilla Sales connects you with contract manufacturing reps who already manage OEM and brand programs and can route the right work to your shop.

Process & Material Matching

Filter by CNC, plastics, metals, electronics, assembly, or packaging requirements.

Quality & Certification Alignment

Reps who understand ISO, AS9100, and industry-specific compliance needs.
