The Tennessee Agreement with an Individual Sales Representative for Referral of Business, also known as a Sales Referral Agreement, is a legally binding contract that outlines the terms and conditions between a business or company and an individual sales representative for the referral of potential customers or clients. This agreement ensures that all parties involved are protected and their responsibilities are clearly stated. In Tennessee, there may be different types of agreements with individual sales representatives, depending on the specific nature of the business relationship. These may include: 1. Commission-Based Agreement: This type of agreement outlines the compensation structure for the sales representative, usually based on a percentage of the sales made as a result of their referrals. The agreement also specifies any additional terms related to commission calculations, payment schedules, and potential exclusions or limitations. 2. Exclusive Referral Agreement: In this type of agreement, the sales representative is granted exclusive rights to refer potential customers or clients to the business within a specific geographic area or industry. This ensures that no other sales representative will compete for referrals within the designated scope. 3. Non-Exclusive Referral Agreement: Unlike the exclusive referral agreement, this type of agreement allows multiple sales representatives to refer potential customers or clients to the business without any exclusivity rights. It defines the responsibilities of each party and the compensation terms for referrals made. Regardless of the type of agreement, specific elements should be included to ensure clarity and protection: a) Parties involved: Clearly state the names and addresses of the business or company and the individual sales representative. b) Services: Define the services or products the sales representative is allowed to refer potential customers or clients to. c) Referrals: Specify the criteria and process for making referrals, including any documentation or reporting requirements. d) Compensation: State the agreed-upon form and amount of compensation for successful referrals, whether it is a commission, flat fee, or any other agreed-upon arrangement. e) Confidentiality: Include provisions to ensure the confidentiality of any sensitive information shared during the referral process. f) Term: Establish the duration of the agreement and any renewal or termination clauses. g) Governing Law: Indicate that the agreement will be governed by the laws of Tennessee, ensuring compliance with state regulations. It is important for all parties involved to thoroughly review and understand the terms of the agreement before signing. It is recommended to consult with legal professionals familiar with Tennessee contract law to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.
