This book is a tool that explains the key terms and clauses used in sales representative agreements, why they are important, and typical objectives sales representative and companies have when negotiating sales agreements.Discussed are the common negotiable and non-negotiable terms. You will learn how to develop sales commission structures that can vary with performance targets. The agreement may define who owns customer lists and how sales leads will be managed. Expense budgets and allowances are described. The payment options including commission payments, base pay and expenses are described. Termination clauses are discussed and why the ending of a sales rep agreement should be anticipated and defined in the agreement. The book contains several sales representative agreements.Imagine if you had a sample of sales representative agreements that have been used by many types of companies. You could review the terms, format and create a draft agreement before having an expensive attorney review it. Even if you were to simply use a business attorney, the attorney may not know many of the optional terms and why businesses and sales representatives want these terms in the agreement.
