What would you call a company that asks for a joining fee for an exclusive area, and for that you get some literature like business cards etc etc, then asks YOU to distribute THEIR sales blumph to potential customers in that area...for which you get 60% of the price of any work you've found!!!


Clever stuff if you're dumb enuff to sign up...a free salesman getting less than if they touted for the work themselves....unbelievable.

I know of a company city sprint to mention names that wanted there drivers to do the same.

Going back some years ago I know a bloke who use to work for them, they'd give you a route to pick up overnight/international shipments & then wanted the driver to generate more leads for there sales rep's to go follow up on.

If a company as large as them is asking drivers to form as sales reps for them then where's the logic in paying sales rep's a wage for job they suppose to be doing why not do it for yourself if all your gonna do is receive a small percentage out  the thousands they'll make but there are companies out there who offer you a franchise & still only pay you peanuts!!

Only one way to operate. Find a good courier company or two to sub for and get out there with your business cards - just don't tread on those you're subbing for.

absolutely...join an xchange site, get 2 or 3 courier companies to sub for, and slowly build up your own portfolio...sorted
