REPatron – Updated Retailer Relationship Management (RRM) with Moblie+

Sarasota, FL. Based on feedback from 20+ Outdoor Sales Agencies currently using Retailer Relationship Management (RRM), REPatron is now delivering an updated version to include Mobile Phone client, Pre-Season/Pre Buy tracking & other useful features designed for Sales reps.

“We’re very exicited about this release and helping to improve the business for our sales agency customers,” says Peter Pawlus, Principal Improvement Officer at REPatron. “Sales agency customers have really started to roll with Retailer Relationship Management (RRM). We have had to add staff in order to keep up with the demand (which is a great problem to have!). Several principals have told me they aren’t even sure how they ran their business without it. With advanced contact management, promise tracking, todo management, pre-season tracking & workflow, new mobile phone client and more purposeful features, reps are really taking their business to a new level.



“I am very lucky to have awesome reps that belong to the REPaton Network. With over 90 sales agency customers, we are able to draw on the experience and expertise of proven sales reps. We are also much more effective and affordable because of our focus on Independent Sales Agencies in this industry. Our sales agency customers are starting to put distance on other sales agencies who are not adapting to the changing retail world around them.”

We are able to quickly incorporate rep requested features and functionality because of our industry experience/focus and the flexibility of our tools. I guess I wasn’t too surprised to get reps who were attempting to track their retailers using the outdated method of spreadsheets and email. I thought that was pretty much a given. What is surprising me some is that we are getting reps who use systems like ACT, Goldmine and Salesforce. Those systems are bloated and too hard to use. When you have more than 1 rep, they get much more expensive and difficult if not impossible to share. They focus so much on “Deals” they don’t focus as much on the actual relationships our reps try to hard to cultivate and grow. “Deals” are geared to those sales reps with complex sales cycles who get one deal and leave. Our reps have strong bonds with their retailers and this helps them keep track of all the little things that mean alot to our retailer business partners.”
