Frequently Asked Question
What is MRN?
MRN helps MFG suppliers find and meet new customers by giving them data, a referral process and a team of referral partners made up of local non-competing suppliers.
Why should I join?
If your business is at risk because of too-big customers, turbulent backlog, price pressure or declining sales, you need new customers. MRN can help with that.
AM I a good fit for MRN?
Yes:

- I am a manufacturing supplier. My customers are OEMs and their suppliers.
- I sell directly to the manufacturer. (i.e. Not through distribution.)
- I am actively hunting for new customers. (or I need to be!)
- I am looking for customer relationships, not just transactions.
- I think it’s difficult to get in the door of the prospects I’m targeting.
- There is a lot of opportunity within 100 miles of where I’m located.
No:

- I sell through distribution.
