Wearing Two Hats Costs A Sales Professional Sales
It’s difficult at best to reprimand a staff member for poor sales performance, but almost impossible to do it when the reason for a lack of sales is that the representative was servicing a large account.

Special Issues for an Area Representative
An area representative is best described as a "super" franchise broker and servicing agent for the franchisor. You will be disclosed in ITEMS 2, 3 and 4 of the franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document with your 5-year biography and litigation and bankruptcy history if you will have management responsibility relating to the sale or operation of franchises. An area representative differs from a subfranchisor in that the area representative uses the franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document and the franchise agreement is signed directly between the franchisor and the franchisee.
