Our vision has been to gather the greatest collection of individual sales talent into a National Sales Team and align ourselves with manufacturers and publishers who produce the highest quality products. Our unique model emulates a conventional in-house national sales force with several inherent advantages. SMP takes our clients' products to retailers with a truly coordinated, unified, and extremely cost-effective selling effort without the usual regional bias.
SMP's team is made up of 16 partners who have held management positions within well-respected video game and software publishing, retailing and manufacturing companies. This experience base gives our clients several competitive advantage when approaching the retail and on-line marketplace:
- Increased reseller mindshare and call frequency, which translates directly into stronger relationships and more selling opportunities .
- Comprehensive national product launch and marketing plans, using street-level data about all accounts, not just a few data points from fragmented regional territories.
- Assignment of a point person to each client who assists management as an advisor, mentor and on-call liaison aggregating forecasts, sell-thru data, marketing program analysis and pre-release feedback on a regular basis.
