January's Seminar at Saper Law: Key Provisions in a Sales Rep. Agreement
Every week, people ask us about hiring a sales rep. It can be the best way for a business owner to optimize their time and allow someone else with sales connections and a travel schedule to do the selling for them. Finding that rep. is just the beginning however. Saper Law will be hosting a seminar tomorrow(1/28) all about the important aspects of a sales representative agreement. Also, the seminar will touch on what to do if the relationship with that rep. goes south and you want to fire them. This seminar is a must see for anyone thinking of hiring a new employee.Saper Law
