Hi there everyone,
 
I haven`t been on in a while and almost forgot how informational this site is. I trademarked "Life is Wet" and "Life is Cold" and have t-shirts, hoodies and hats so far we have other products in the works. I`m at the point of needing a sales rep and not sure what the best way is. I`ve been on some of the rep hunter websites and there is a fee so before paying I wanted to make sure which companies were ligit and if that was the best way.
 
Thanks,  Tammy

Here are a few suggestions. 
 
You can go to stores that sell similar products to yours.  They might tell  what sales reps they buy from. 
 
You can also piggyback your product.  Ie., a company I worked for piggybacked their product with a sales rep that represented six different companies.  One company sold doors.  One sold artificial flowers.  One sold windows. And, my company sold door hardware.  the sales rep would go to a client wanting to buy doors.  During the meeting the rep would also mention our company and the one that sold windows as well.  This approach tripled our exposure.
