Make a full or time income as a CoTradeCo Sales Rep

When being an affiliate isn’t enough you can become a commissioned sales rep for CoTradeCo. Being a sales rep offers all the benefits of being an affiliate, but at a higher commission rate, assuming you are ready to start proactively building a customer base. Sales reps want to make calls, do some footwork, and build even more income, especially through business to business sales and other large accounts. If you are looking for a more passive income OR have an existing higher volume business you might consider our Affiliate and Dealer programs

Ways to sell and get paid

All affiliate benefits, but at your higher commission rate
Gain access to our TRADER ADMIN LOGIN to track leads and customers, get link codes for passive referral sales, and all the same collateral and marketing tools. As well as proactively finding your own leads and customer base, we want you to be able to build income through referral sales just as easily.

Through your SPOT and community blog articles
Because CoTradeCo is about community building, we hope you will join us in the community blog. And as a sales rep we will reward you. Any organic traffic from search engines or other sites who link to your SPOT or anything you post to the community blog also counts as a referral if they sign up or purchase anything.

Earn 30% on gross profit
You make money we make money. You earn 30% of gross profit (minus a 5% houseload for operating costs).[1] This is an extremely generous commission rate for the types of industries we serve. And as part of our committment to your success, don’t forget that you will receive the same commission rate for passive referrals as well.

• You must have accrued $500 in earnings before we send payment.
• You must maintain a reasonable number of orders or sales volume per 6 month period

What you get from CoTradeCo:

Access to TRADER ADMIN LOGIN

• Login anytime to check on your leads and customers. See how many people have used your referral links or landed on your SPOT or community blog posts
• Download catalogs and collateral. Get access to various marketing and promotional materials from our various vendors and those created by CoTradeCo for our sales reps and other marketing.
• Get your links and codes for online marketing from your blog or website. Note that CoTradeCo does not support spamming practices. Legitmate mailing lists and other similar practices are fine, but CoTradeCo is building a better way of doing business and will only support those who adhere to ethical business practices.
• Live online reporting coming soon! We are a small company, and our Trader Program is still very new. Thus our online reporting is still being developed. In the mean time we will provide reports on all sales generated through your affiliate account by email as orders are generated.

Referrals for community participation

We really want you to understand that your participation at CoTradeCo is valued and that all traffic attracted to the site through any of your contributions to the community are treated as referrals. If you write an article or start a discussion that attracts new community members or store customers you will be rewarded.[2]

Important to stress here is that you can use the CoTradeCo communities to not only generate leads, but use the community blogs to give personal customer service which will give you even more exposure, demonstrate your knowledge-committment-expertise to existing and potential customers, and also allow CoTradeCo staff and other sales reps and affiliates to help you provide that better service.

Personalized and customized collateral
If you qualify as a sales rep we will provide you with business cards and provide design services for custom marketing materials on your request. We want to help you succeed. As a sales rep out there drumming up sales, we want to make sure you have the resources you need. Just ask. Many pre-existing resources are also available in the ADMIN TRADER LOGIN.

Tips, coaching, mentoring
We help our sales reps with tips and ideas on different potential sales oppportunities. We work with you to help you succeed. We continue to add general industry tips in the TRADER ADMIN LOGIN, but are here to personally discuss ideas with you.

Training with vendor and manufacturer reps
While we pride ourselves in being as knowledgeable as possible, we will arrange for personal meetings and trainings with many of the manufacturers we work with. Currently this is fairly limited to those living in the Southwest U.S. and select areas of the country for certain product lines. But under the right circumstances will even consider flying you in to spend some time with us and our vendor reps.

Assistance with your web presence
If you have a website or are thinking of starting one, CoTradeCo will use it’s knowledge and expertise to give advice and in some cases even directly assist in the construction of your site.

Leads directly from CoTradeCo
We want to build localized specialized representatives around the world. If you can cover a specific geographical area, especially outside of Southern California, and/or have special knowledge/focus in a particular industry or hobby Trader Dan will turn over leads generated from the website or phone calls to qualified sales reps local to that lead.

Sales Rep finder
We will be implementing a sales rep finder resource on our site to help provide more personalized local service. Corporate, government, and public works accounts seeking a local rep will be able to find you based on geographical location. In all cases we would rather pay you a commission to ensure local personal service than make a few extra bucks trying to service business accounts long distance.

CoTradeCo handles everything

We process all orders, handle payment, provide superior customer service, everything. You place the orders (or send the referrals) and we make sure your customers are happy.

Who should be a sales rep?

• Individuals who have done professional sales
• Individuals who interested in covering a specific geographical area and/or specialty interest or topic
• Individuals who prefer meeting customers face to face
• Businesses who want to sell a few select items from the CoTradeCo catalog

The sales rep program is open to any individual or business. However, the expectation of maintaining a reasonable number of orders or sales volume is critical in offering the higher commission and a personal relationship. The sales rep program is perfect for professional sales people who are looking for new products or industries to serve. Because we do work intimately with our sales reps and do our best to provide as many resources and oppportunties as possible we are more selective in who we accept as a sales rep.
