Reps Excel at Show and Sell

Sales reps and their showrooms are an important and valuable service link between manufacturers and retailers. In the children’s industry, sales reps often hold the key to open the right retail doors for manufacturers to succeed and boost sales. Many of the best reps work their trade in permanent showrooms designed to showcase multiple lines to their best advantage. These showrooms are the ideal venue for wholesale buyers to shop efficiently and do business with trusted sales professionals. The Giggle Guide^® regularly features sales reps and showrooms throughout the country that play a valuable role in the distribution chain. Today, our spotlight is shining brightly on Two’s Company, The Klein Group, Accentrics, The Rose Garden and Ali’s Market.

Stepping it up at The Klein Group

Thirty-eight years ago, a stay-at-home mom decided to start selling samples out of her home. Over time, the drive to go professional was undeniable and Marilyn Klein opted to open a retail shop in Texas. With hard work and dedication from Marilyn, her husband and a great team of employees, the store survived and multiplied until the ‘80s, when the Kleins decided to delve into the world of professional sales representatives, showing lines to specialty stores and department stores.

The Klein Group has since grown to become one of the most recognized and sought after sales rep organizations in both Dallas and Atlanta. The Kleins credit their success to their enthusiastic employees, amazing lines with wide appeal and a bold sense of style, and buyers that come back again and again because they know that they will never leave disappointed!
