Jennifer,

This is a tough sell since you yourself are not experiencing a problem to
solve... as a trader who farms out all sorts of work, I ask around for what I
need... all econ starts with dissatisfaction.

You are doing what they say, find a need and fill it, but I argue you
"experience a problem and solve it" is the more likely way. Reframe your
question
based on a problem you experience...start there.

Just Too Good!

Re: [spiers] Re: Distributorship agreement/agent agreement

John...

Do you know where I can find drafts (boiler plate agreements) for
distributors/agent/manufacturer's rep. agreements. I'd like to sign some folks
up without having to spend for attorney's fees especially when the documents can
be found on the internet.

Jay

Ask the reps for their standard contract, and check the details against what i
recommend in the book, and work it up from there... and if you want to send a
draft past me for suggestions, i'd be glad to look at it...
