Anyone have a sample contract for hiring a salesperson?

2 replies
I'm looking to hire maybe 1 or 2 salesperson to find new clients for my SEO business. This will be a straight commission per lead and maybe a percentage of the monthly retainer fee.

So does anyone have any sample contract they can share that they have in place with their salesperson(s)?

    You're going to pay them per lead? Or per contract?

    In an answer to your original question, here's one from Scribd:
    Sales Rep Commission Only

    You'll need to edit accordingly, but it should get you started.

      As a lawyer, let me give my two cents. An oral contract is as good as a written contract, unless you plan to litigate. Then it's more difficult to prove. With salespeople, the most important thing about the contract is the non-compete and the non-disclosure. Google it, and you'll find many sample contracts. The most important thing about a contract is to avoid legaleze so the terms of the contract can be easily understood. I always tell my clients that if you want to think like a lawyer, be precise in your language and know the rules.
