Starting this month, members in the USA can start taking advantage of a suite of new benefits. Nearly 500 members submitted the survey in October, which allowed MANA to secure the best discounts on business insurance, national vendor programs, and more. Did you miss the webinars or are you uncertain how to start? Simply send an email to [email protected] and our benefits coordinator will guide you through the process.

There is more big news to share. MANA is in the process of redeveloping our entire technology platform to better service our members. Your membership will soon become even more valuable because we are implementing a new website with enhanced functionality. It will be fully operational by the end of January and members will see dramatic improvements such as:

  • Search results that are accurate and actionable.
  • Accurate email outreach that provides truly relevant opportunities.
  • Organized educational resources that are easier to access and read.

The new system will use a Member Compass™ that gives members the tools to build an accurate profile to achieve their goals. An obvious goal of a rep is to find great lines. An obvious goal for manufacturers is to find great reps. The new system will create better matches because members can properly input information that describes who they are and what they want to achieve.

MANA will schedule webinars to inform you about the next steps to take. Please watch for future email communications to learn more about these exciting new developments.
