Unlike many publishers, our BookMasters Distribution Services sales representatives visit each store at least twice a year, and even as often as twice a month if necessary for certain wholesalers. We do not put a limit to the number of times a representative should be calling on an account. We base the number of calls on a particular account’s needs.

Our BookMasters Distribution Services sales representatives have been carefully selected and understand the needs of a distributor. They are among the more focused organizations throughout the country. In most cases, each group only represents a handful of lines, which allows them to concentrate on publisher needs, and essentially act as house representatives. Our representatives have strong relationships, built over many years, with the booksellers on whom they call. The recommendations they make to their buyers as to appropriate titles and quantities are always given careful consideration. The BookMasters Distribution Services sales department is in frequent contact with our representatives and we pass on all appropriate sales and publicity information to insure they are up to speed and can sell effectively.

We believe our representatives are the best in the business. In fact, three of our sales representatives have won “Representative of the Year” in their respective territories in the last 5 years.

By employing independent representatives, we can field more than five times the number of sales representatives and see many more accounts than distributors or publishers with only an in-house sales force. Since all of our representatives also have longstanding relationships with our in-house staff, they work very hard for us and we get excellent results. At most distributors and publishers, the decision to employ house reps is made in order to reduce overhead, not to sell more books. At BookMasters Distribution Services, we believe in getting the product to market first and foremost.
