When you need one

As soon as someone starts selling your products or services as your representative.

You should have a contract with your sales representative as soon as they start to sell products or services for you. If you’re the company, a sales representative can make a you legally responsible for customer contracts as soon as you give them the okay to represent you. If you’re the sales representative, as soon as you start selling a company’s products or services you could become responsible to the company’s customers for the things you sell. So, you want a contract in place to protect both parties, to say who takes on what risks, and to keep the sales relationship clear. A Sales Representative Agreement will help you have a good working relationship so you can focus on making sales.
