About MBA
In 1960, when Wilson Jones’ National Sales Manager, Ted Myers, stepped out to found our group, his urgency was making sure both his customers and manufacturers succeed, or else his own new business would fail. Over 50 years later, this foundation of forging trust between our company and its customers and manufacturers is still the hallmark of our business today. While Ted and his partner and successor, Carey Brazell, enjoy their well-deserved retirement, Myers Brazell & Associates continues to grow under the John Motley and RepForce umbrellas because we are a valuable asset in aiding our customers’ growth and maximizing the sale of our manufacturers’ products through those customers. Or, as we often say within the walls of our own company, “Our very success depends on theirs.”
Sounds simple, doesn’t it? It is anything but, as many rep organizations have come and gone over the 51 years MBA has thrived. One constant we have embraced all these years is a never-ending need to adjust to the changes in our industry. Whether it was the era of mom-and-pop’s and numerous wholesalers or increases in wholesaling, the era of end-user work and the emergence of power channel super stores, or today’s era of large national and regional customers and buying groups and independent dealers, Myers Brazell has been willing to do what it takes to stave off complacency and address the same reality that was present in 1960 of helping our customers and manufacturers succeed in the environment we all work in.
Some of the constants? The professionalism and stability of our sales force ... creative consultative selling ... servicing our customers' needs ... relationship-building and maintenance ... quick to succeed with new products, our industry's lifeblood ... excellent communication as our manufacturers' eyes-and-ears in the field ... problem-solving ... recognizing emerging trends and opportunities ... providing "field level" marketing advice ... promoting to the max ... embracing new technologies which offer further opportunities ... training ... product development ... making money ... having fun ... we love our great industry!
