“I have recently joined ERA to get to know and learn from others in our industry. As a Sales Representative, my main interactions are with customers, suppliers, and local distribution partners. However, there is a wealth of knowledge that can be acquired by spending time with individuals beyond my immediate circle of colleagues.”
- Jake Tramel, Bager Sales
“When the time came that I wanted to start my own Rep Company I realized I needed a lot of help establishing myself as a brand in an industry of giants. My network wasn’t nearly enough for me to survive less yet succeed. I learned quickly I needed help from those that came before me. The one piece of advice I heard time and time again, was that I needed to join the Electronics Representatives Association. I was told that if I listened and contributed the ERA network of seasoned professionals would stand by me and mentor me on the challenges I was about to face. That decision was the best decision I could have ever made in my quest to succeed. ERA taught me, even schooled me in CPMR Certification. I’m here today knowing that ERA represents family, a family of professionals, leaders and friends and I’m grateful to be part of it in a small way.
