The NE chapter is part of the 86-year-old Electronics Representatives Association (ERA). The ERA is the international trade organization for professional field sales companies in the global electronics industries, manufacturers who go to market through representative firms and global distributors. It is the mission of ERA to support the professional field sales function through programs and activities that educate, inform and advocate for manufacturers’ representatives, the principals they represent and the distributors who are reps’ partners in local territories. ERA member representative firms (often called “reps”) provide field sales services on an exclusive basis to manufacturers of related (but non-competing) products in a defined territory.

Join us Tuesday, June 18 for the next ERA LIVE: "The Kids are Alright: Hiring, Training & Retaining Zillenials!" As Millennials and Gen Z now make up 50 percent of the global workforce, creating a hiring strategy that acknowledges their potential and goals is key for businesses looking to achieve growth. It makes good business sense not only to take this large portion of the workforce seriously, but also to acknowledge that they will be essential in attracting customers in their peer group. Based on the popular breakout session from the 2024 ERA Conference, this ERA LIVE session will feature a panel of “Zillenials” (Millenial + Gen Z) who are currently working and thriving at a manufacturers’ sales rep firm, to understand what you need to know about hiring Zillenials and effective practices in training and retaining them. The session will be moderated by Walter Tobin and speakers will include Mark Wachtel, president of SJ Associates, and his team of Zillenials: Ted Batchelder, Charles Bobby, Lani Chau, Joe Ciolino, Cullen Finn, Ida Greenlee, Rashon L., Wendy L., Ryan Nogueira and Jennifer Angelo Smith. See you there! ?? More details & log-in info: [https://lnkd.in/gM5RdbK2]
