There can be drama even if you just do commissions. There can be
arguments about whether a sale was through the reseller or direct, and
further friction over when they get paid out. It's easy to see why
companies make a rigid reseller system. Then again, if you were ever
a DSL or satellite retailer you can probably attest that it's no fun
being the reseller in a rigid system either. I'm kind of sour on the
whole concept.
My rule is that the reseller/agent gets the customer to sign the contract, not
me. I do not want to hear crap like did you follow up on my lead yet, did you
get my lead to sign yet, I sent you a bunch of leads when do I get paid, etc.
The best one was when someone contacted me asking for stuff and I worked when
them for about a week, a pretty normal new potential customer exchange. Then
they went silent. About a month later their so-called telecom agent contacts me
and says I have to pay him his cut if I want them to complete the process and
sign up.
