2The consumer packaged goods industry is a
multi-billion dollar global industry that
involves numerous organizations, employees,
vendors, business partners, contractors, and
more.

3In some companies, they can have upwards of tens
of thousands of outside third-party sales reps
that are not direct employees.

4Rather, they are considered a contractual
employee and earn their money by selling consumer
packaged goods to retailers in various market
segments.

5Most work on a commission-basis, meaning they
only get paid if they sell your goods. Since the
consumer package goods markets are very
competitive, it is not uncommon for these
third-party sales reps to sell goods from several
different companies, some of which may even be
your competitors.

6Knowing this information, how do you keep your
proprietary data safe, yet at the same time
provide your third-party sales reps with the
tools, training, and materials they need to go
out and sell your products?

7One of the most secure and easiest methods is to
use Cloud-based solutions that are not directly
connected to your organizations networks.

8Rather, you create a special repository of files,
videos, marketing materials, and so on, that your
third-party sales reps can access over the
Internet in the Cloud.

9The data you upload into the repository can also
be further protected by setting permission
levels, such as

11In addition, your new repository of data often
can help better educate your third-party sales
reps because they will have access to tools and
materials from just about anywhere, so long as
they have an Internet connection.
www.technicalactiongroup.ca
416-489-6312
12This means your sales reps are more likely to
access the content more frequently and become
more familiar with your goods and product lines.
www.technicalactiongroup.ca
416-489-6312
13For instance, you may have several reps who are
only aware of one or two of your main product
lines, yet have no idea what else you sell.
www.technicalactiongroup.ca
416-489-6312
14By providing marketing materials, product data
sheets, and other such materials, they often
discover new goods they could be selling to their
existing customers.

15As a result, your sales increase because your
third-party sales reps are better trained and
have the tools they need to do their job more
efficiently.

16When setting up a new Cloud-based solution such
as this, you will want to consider how the
content is going to be delivered to your sales
reps.

17Not all of them may have a laptop computer as
many sales reps today utilize tablets and
smartphones since these are easier to transport
from one customer site to the next.

18Keep this in mind, as this also affects how you
develop your marketing materials, training
materials, and so on, because you want them
compatible with all types of devices.

19Aside from documents, files, and videos, you can
even install apps that will benefit your
third-party sales reps.
