What is an Exclusive Sales Representative Agreement?

An exclusive sales representative agreement is a legal document that ensure that the relationship between the company and its sales representatives is protected. A business owner must know what an exclusive sales representative agreement is and how it can benefit their company.

The most common agreements involved in commercial transactions are contracts, which courts have defined as “[a] promise or set of promises that creates obligations that may be enforced." It's important to note here that contracts do not always take written form; they may also exist verbally or impliedly through actions such as acceptance by silence.

I help small business owners build and protect their dreams. I always thought that I would just be a litigator. Then I joined an intellectual property clinic in law school. We were helping nonprofits and small businesses reach their goals. I fell in love with the work and decided to open my own firm so I could keep helping them. When I decided to start Victrix Legal, I decided that it would be a modern law firm designed to serve professionals. It would be different from every other law firm. In my experience, my law firms are designed to promote inefficiency and reactionary lawyering. Because in most firms, you make more money when you spend more time on a project. And you lose money if your client doesn't get sued. In my opinion, that's a built-in conflict of interest. My firm is different. I use flat fees for most basic projects to keep costs predictable for you and incentivize efficiency. I offer long-term advisory plans and legal audits to prevent issues from happening. I want my clients to see me as their business partner, not just the guy they call when they are in trouble. If any of that interests you, please reach out to me. I offer free consultations. Let's set aside some time and talk about what your legal needs are.
