Commission Sales Agreement
A commission sales agreement is a contract in which a principal agrees to pay an agent a percentage or fixed fee for sales or introductions that meet defined qualification criteria. Use this when a company hires a 1099 sales rep or broker paid only on results, not salary. It defines what counts as a qualified lead, when commission vests, and clawbacks on cancellations.
