The thread on multiple income sources could not be better timing; I was planning on asking this today anyways. I have a chance to rep a good product w/ a territory from the manufacturer, auto-related, but my general questions are these:
1) Is it better to be an employee or an independant sales rep? (Not sure whether I will have this choice, but wondering about the differences).
2) Any ISRs out there who can advise me what to ask for if I get this product into stores? A major (nationwide) chain perhaps? Would it be normal to get a one time commision or perpetual commisions?
3) Is there a type of lawyer who specialises in these types of contracts whom I should seek out? I only want a "normal" fair deal, whatever is industry standard, but I'm dealing w/ something that could potentially be very successful. Thanks a lot in advance, guys.
