I’m looking for sales reps that show and sell to retail stores.  The
retail store type can be sporting, hunting or small electronics. There
are many small sales rep agencies that present new products to stores
and catalog companies and receive  a commission for their work and
connections.  Are there any good web sites that list these companies
or individuals?   A company,  or an individual on the west coast would
be preferred.

Hi!

I was able to find one website that has a database of sales rep
agencies in the US. You can search by product, geographic location and
industry. However, in order to access the data you must pay separately
for a subscription. Subscription charges will be $300 to $400
annually.

Will this be considered as an acceptable answer?

Just let me know. :)

Could you take another look?  These people DO want to be found, so I'm
just unsure  why it would be so hard to get a list.  I might change my
mind, but for now lets look for something simpler.  thanks

Hi! Thanks for the question and for accepting my proposal for an

VMWINC's Repsource website provides a way for you to search for a
sales representatives according to your specific needs.

You can access the data by way of two modes of membership, silver ($
129.95) and the gold membership ($ 249.95). The differences between
the two are discussed in our next link.

Another website. Rephunter.net, also has this kind of service. It
seems that their fees are much more expensive than Repsource.

The best single source would be the Electronic Representatives Association (ERA):
