MRC Member Testimonial Over the years, MRC has given me many opportunities through networking. It has been a vital key to our further success in the industry. With that idea, every rep who wants to stay informed and on the cutting edge does need the opportunity to discuss important rep industry issues with other reps in a trusting, open forum. The educational opportunities and mentoring programs for reps are priceless. —John Iannotte, Vice President/General Manager, Performance/Truck Accessory Sales Team, N.A. Williams |

Message From The Chair Of MRC
The MRC is one of few SEMA councils that limits its membership to the industry it represents. At the same time, the council understands the importance of and need to expose the larger industry to the benefits of utilizing professional sales reps. We can further impact the manufacturers’ representatives’ presence in the industry through a rep network that explores common issues and elevates the image of the profession. —Joel Rosenthal, Owner, Gantt-Thomas & Associates Inc. |

MRC Select Committee Testimonial I feel strongly about being involved in the MRC for two main reasons. One being that it helps our fellow manufacturers’ representatives by being more proactive with changes in our industry. A second important benefit/reason for being involved is that I am personally using what I learn in my committee activities every day. It is helping me to be a better representative. —Bill Eagan, Performance Rep, Airheart Sales |
