MADISON, WI — Spring ushered in two new technical sales representatives for Bell Laboratories. Former Canadian representative Sara Knilans, returned to Bell in March after a seven-year hiatus to assume sales responsibilities as Midwest technical representative. She’ll represent Bell rodent control products to distributors and pest management professionals (PMPs) in a 10-state area, including Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Upper Michigan, Kansas, Nebraska, and North and South Dakota.

Maria Miller also joined Bell’s sales team in March as Southeast technical representative for Alabama, Georgia, and North and South Carolina.

Knilans and Miller work closely with Bell distributors, providing product information and training sessions to their sales representatives and pest control customers on the proper use and application of Bell products. They also assist distributors in identifying and developing promotional/marketing strategies to increase market share. They also represent Bell at distributor-organized events, as well as national trade shows and exhibitions.

In the field, the reps conduct training workshops and lend technical support on pest control strategies, including accompanying distributor reps and technicians on inspections at hard-to-control rodent infestation sites.
