Sales Agency Agreement

A Sales Agency Agreement defines the relationship between a principal and agent for the promotion and sale of goods or services. This playbook outlines commission structures, exclusivity provisions, and termination rights critical to effective representation.

Scope of Services

Why This Matters: Ambiguous scope leads to unmet expectations, cost overruns, and potential litigation. A clear scope protects both parties and ensures accountability.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure the scope is detailed and aligns with strategic goals. Insist on clear deliverables and acceptance criteria to avoid disputes.

If you're the Service Provider:

Negotiate for flexibility in service delivery while ensuring the scope is clearly defined to prevent scope creep.
