Commission-only sales agents, without building the machinery
What a commission-only agent legally is, what running them directly actually involves, and what changes when the sourcing, vetting, tooling and payouts are already built.
A commission-only sales agent is self-employed. They sell on their own account, invoice commission on what they close, and are nobody’s employee: no salary, no shifts, no employer obligations on your side. Done right it aligns everyone; done casually it collapses into disputes about what was sold, what was promised on the call, and what is owed.
You can run agents directly: source them, vet their experience, contract them, give them numbers and a dialler, screen those numbers lawfully, record the calls, track what was actually sold and pay commission out. Every one of those is your job on the direct route. The marketplace route is the same relationship with the machinery already built, and with billing attached to a customer-confirmed sale rather than to an agent’s own report of one.
