Independent Business Associate

[harryatkins]

Hi All

I have a contact in a company that wants me to become an Independent Business Associate.

Basically wanting me to champion the cause of their company and try and sell in their service and products whenever I can during my daily routine.

I will be paid a commission on any billed sales.

My question is does anyone have experience of this and in particular have a Independent Business Associate contract example.

Thanks for any help.

It's called sales. And worst of all it's cold calling.

Hi J
Will not be cold calling just making the introductions as and where I can. I should have said the company are people I know personally and have been invited to think about the associate status, let are only selecting a few from a large pool of resources they have at their disposal. The company its self do not cold call and will not expect associates to do so either, which is nice...

sounds a bit corny - is it a good product/service? - the cost of selling & marketing are a big ££overhead for any company, your friends are minimising their exposure to these costs.... in addition, they're hoping you can pick up business without themselves getting involved in the tortuous effort in trying to gain new business.

You're doing them a favour not the other way around

The product and service is very good, however they are trying to expose new market sectors.

Using a professionally developed associate system, would easily give a company’s referral lead generation a terrific boost, greatly increasing their existing and new sales, credibility, customer satisfaction, loyalty, profit margin, long-term business growth and company value. The commission payments on the back of such leads could be substantial.
