As these are the most important terms of your business, it’s worth taking a moment to double-check them. Have you made a decision on all of the following?

  • How will you profit from your selling services?
    • Are you open to just purchasing your clients’ items outright and reselling them?
    • Will you charge a fee or commission? What will it be?
    • Will you require or offer a deposit?
  • What selling costs will the SA pass on to the client?
    • Will the client be responsible for selling fees or payment processing costs?
    • Will you bill the client all or in part for the cost of packaging or shipping?
    • Will the client pay actual fees or posted costs for each item?
    • What other fees should your client expect to cover?
  • What expectations should the client have about receiving their payments?
    • What methods of payment will you offer?
