Ratermann & Associates has a proven track record of effective, professional service.

How do we do it?

We believe that the key to a successful distribution plan is clear communication between the brokers, distributors, and manufacturers. Our account managers are constantly contact with our customer base, and have long lasting relationships with all of our distributors, and principles.

  • We set objectives with the regional manager for new and enhanced distribution, key account calls, and specific products to target for each market.
  • We devise a strategy for reaching our goals, and track each call and appointment in our state of the art CRM system, record the result and the follow up.
  • We provide you with a detailed report of everything we're doing to help grow your business.
  • At certain intervals we review your goals and readjust the strategy as necessary.

Through this proactive approach, we have experienced consistent growth every year we’ve been in business, and hope to continue to continue this growth for you, and all of our principals, well into the future.
