Why Independent Reps for Electrical Supply Sales Reps?

The most efficient way to scale your sales force.

Counter & Outside Sales Influence

Reps who already sit with distributor teams can get your products suggested first.

Spec & Plan Room Coverage

They work with engineers and estimators to keep you on the bill of materials.

Territory Breadth

Independent reps cover multiple branches and contractors without adding W2 headcount.

The Problem

Are your SKUs missing every pull-through?

If counter reps and estimators aren't suggesting you, competitors get written into every quote and project package.

No Counter Mindshare

Contractors buy what the distributor recommends. If you are not top of mind, you get replaced.

Specs Swap You Out

Engineers accept alternates from brands they already trust.

Slow W2 Expansion

Hiring and ramping W2 teams for every branch is expensive and slow.

The Solution

Win counter recommendations and stay on the BOM.

Zilla Sales connects you with electrical reps who already influence distributor counters and contractor bids so your line is the default choice.

Channel Matching

Filter by distributor relationships and contractor segments (residential, commercial, industrial).
