This is a question I get asked quite a lot in my 'How to Wholesale' program.
Should I work with a Sales Agent?
How much % commission do they take?
Where do I find them?
And then BUT that is so much % off what I already receive for wholesaling?!
Why would I do that? I don't have enough margin.
Why would I use an agent?
So here we go - a list of pros and cons when deciding whether to work with an agent.
Why you should and why you shouldn't.
How to make the most of your experience and what they need to do their job properly.
I love agents, and have some amazing friends who are agents! But I have had some bad experiences with them (in hindsight it may have been my fault....).
I have used them for my brand, used them to buy when I had a retail store and I have been one!!!
So I have perceptive here from all sides.
