Why Reps? Well...


From time to time, we get asked WHY we utilize independent manufacturers reps instead of factory direct sales people. Well, hey...the first, main, primary, top and most important reason is... economics! With an independent rep company, we need not fuss with silly things like salaries, health insurance, auto expenses,
reimbursement for the 3-Martini lunches, FICA, etc., etc.

They sell something - we mail 'em a commission check! This method has also proved to be advantageous to our customers because, if we can keep our cost-of-sales controlled, our products remain cost-effective to them!

But, there is lots more to it than that. Over the years, we have discovered that experienced independent reps have developed a critical mass of knowledge concerning their business base within their sales territory.

And, multi-line reps know where the real decision makers reside in every company they visit. They can usually pinpoint new sales opportunities for us quickly and in many cases, provide insightful "corporate intelligence"!

So... High Tech Connections sales reps, we really value your continued contributions to our company's growth! Keep UP the good work!




The Savings Beat Goes On...


High Tech Connections is an American-owned company, specializing in the design, manufacture and distribution of AC and DC power products, interconnect assemblies and, more recently, passive components. Partnering with several internationally-recognized Asian-based facilities, we have succeeded in saving our clients millions of dollars since our inception in 1994!

Although we are most generally recognized for our North American and internationally-approved power cords and cord sets, we furnish OEM's and contract manufacturers with a myriad of electronic component products. These Asian-sourced, "brand-equivalent" components have provided our customers meaningful cost-saving benefits over more traditional suppliers and, at NO sacrifice in quality!

We provide one key client (in the alarm and security industry), production quantities of illuminated rocker switches, miniature slide switches, electronic fuses and thermal circuit breakers! Another major customer (a world leader in imaging products), purchases thousands of wall-mounted linear AC/DC adapters for external power.

Today, smart component buyers all across the fruited plain look to High Tech Connections to provide significant savings on first-quality toggle, slide and rocker switche products, glass fuses and fuse holders, audio/video and electronic board-level connectors, IEC power inlets, EMI filters, NEMA panel receptacles, pcb terminal blocks and related products!
We are determined to meet or exceed the cost-reduction objectives of our valued-customers! YES! We can help you secure lower unit prices for many of your company's production components, dramatically improving your bottom line performance!
We invite you to contact our sales department today to discuss all of your component sourcing needs! Let us demonstrate how we can help YOUR company keep a lid on rising costs!

In addition, my collegues and I will be addressing HOT industry issues like component sourcing, buying, selling, marketing, raw materials, transportation, the election, unrelated topics of general interest, etc. I will also "dig up" and present the latest in Hollywood gossip!
