Kelley is proud to present to you the most
dynamic and rewarding sales rep opportunity in the sports industry! Imagine
working with a company that has the best products in the industry, the best
prices in the industry, and a solid career path with limitless opportunity. We
have set up a sales rep program that gives individuals like you the opportunity
to start a business for as little as $800. There is no better opportunity to
reach your financial goals simply by being a part of the game you love!
How Does
the Program Work?
As a Kelley Sales Rep, you will have multiple
avenues to income. You can make your business as large or as small as you wish.
These avenues to income include:
-
Selling the products via traditional methods*:
- Selling & promoting at baseball, fastpitch or softball tournaments
- Selling & promoting to local leagues
- Selling to local club teams (especially team bags)
- Visiting and selling to local high schools
- Creating an email and mailing list
-
Selling the products via your Kelley Web Site (Kelley fulfills orders for you)
*This information is to serve as basic ideas/avenues for marketing your products.
The standard Rep Discount starts at 20%.
As a Kelley Sales Rep, you will receive product discounts of 20-40% depending on
the item. This wholesale discount is taken from the Kelley list price.
For example, on an Elevation Series glove, which we list for $169, your price
will be $118.30 (30% discount). The core items that we carry have a discount of
30% which includes gloves, bats, bat bags, catcher’s equipment, helmets, batting
gloves and wristbands. We also have a few items that have a 40% discount, which
includes our Optics and our Glovolution. In addition, all apparel which includes
custom hats and uniforms has a discount of 20%.
After you come on board, Kelley can provide you with extensive knowledge on
methods for selling our products. Over the past 14 years Kelley has built a
solid reputation by attending tournaments, dealing with youth and adult
organizations (attending sign-ups & opening days), visiting with high school
baseball and softball coaches, building mailing lists etc… These are simply a
few ways you could reach out to the players in your area. Our staff becomes 100%
available to you for rep mentoring and development.

and how to Get Started!
Guidelines:
-
Initial $100 Rep Activation Fee and Initial $700 Product Purchase requirement.
-
All orders will be paid up-front via credit or debit card. Kelley does not extend
terms or ship via C.O.D... We recommend that sales-reps obtain a credit card to
use solely for Kelley purchases - this in essence gives you the ability to
manage your purchases and time of payment.
-
Kelley does not allow you to buy team items as your sole initial order. For example,
buying a set of team bat bags or team uniforms would not count as an initial
order. You can include this as part of your initial order if you purchase $300
in additional inventory (i.e. gloves, bats, sunglasses).
-
Kelley Sales Reps are not permitted to sell other items that compete directly with
Kelley products. For example, you would not be able to sell another glove line
or bat line. However, Sales-Reps can carry items that Kelley does not currently
manufacture.
-
Reps should maintain an active status by purchasing a minimum of $250 every 120 days
(this requires minimal effort). If a rep becomes inactive, he/she will lose rep
discount and commission privileges until being re-activated.
-
Drop Shipment orders will be accepted by Sales-Reps for shipment to their customers
direct. This will be done on a limited basis only as reps should attempt to
maintain a viable inventory.
-
Sales-Reps should establish relations with Leagues, Schools, Teams, Complexes and Park
& Recreation Departments in their area.
-
Sales-Reps must get approval from Kelley USA before any product can be discounted
below Kelley retail price. Failure to do so can result in an immediate
termination
-
Use of Kelley logos must be approved by Kelley first. In addition, any self created
ads, flyers etc... MUST be approved by Kelley first before use.
-
Kelley USA will handle all returns from customers with damaged products. Sales-Reps
can not authorize returns under any circumstances or replace damaged products.
However, all exchanges on new items will be handled directly by the Sales-Rep.
-
There will be no returns or exchanges from Sales-Reps unless an item is received as
damaged. Damaged items must be reported to Kelley USA within 72 hours of
receipt.
-
Sales-Reps shall NOT develop or utilize an existing web site for Kelley product
sales/promotion unless authorized by Kelley. In addition, Kelley prohibits the
sell of Kelley products to online retailers. Kelley also prohibits the sell of
Kelley items on eBay or other auction sites. Kelley will develop a fully
integrated e-commerce site for sales-reps to use in promotions/sales at a cost
of $500 (payment plan available).
-
Sales-Reps are not guaranteed a territory. We believe that the domination of your area
can be obtained via hard work. The earlier you participate in our program, the
greater the opportunity you have to make contacts and build relations in your
area. Your success will depend on the development of these good relationships.
Time & Products:
The amount of time involved is basically up to
you! Most of our current sales reps have full time jobs and simply work a few
evenings and primarily on weekends. Because a lot of our reps also have kids
that play- they see it as a great opportunity to make a few dollars while they
are at the ballpark. From our past experience, an average tournament or game day
should bring in $1,200-$2,000 which means you’d roughly make $500-$700 for the
tournament. If you simply went to 10 tournaments a year, you could add an
additional $5,000 to $7,000 to your yearly income (that’s not including visits
with high schools or additional organizations). You are capable of earning $10k
to $15k+ per year with a minimal effort. Most will earn much more!
What
Will I Be Selling?
Well, that’s a good question that actually has
two answers. The first answer is:
1. Kelley has a potent line of products that are
the best in the industry. We simply won't add something to our product
line unless it is the best. Our current line of products includes:
-
N Fuego Baseball Bats, Wood Bats in both Ash & Maple
-

-

-

Guards, Knee Shocks)
-

-

-
Wristbands (3", 5", 1")
-

2. Now, here’s the second answer to the question… Nothing! You will not have to
sell anything because our products basically sell themselves. The feel of our
products is unsurpassed and provides instant product credibility! Customers can
“feel” the difference. Just wait and you’ll see what we mean!

Kelley is no longer accepting distributors in the Dallas/Ft. Worth and Reno, NV area. Anyone in
