PQLS Books sales representatives are called independent contractors, what does this mean?

Our sales reps are contracted by us and paid commission for their hard work. We pay some of the best commissions in this industry and value their contributions to our success as a company.

Independent contractors set their own hours, and are in business for themselves.

So does this mean a representative is a 1099 contracted position?

Yes, all our sales representatives are 1099 based and receive a 1099-MISC from us on or before January 31 of each year. They are responsible for all taxes involved in their relationship with us.

How do commissions get paid?

Commission is paid to a sales representative on shipment of books. Checks are mailed each Friday from our home office In the case of a holiday; we ship the next business day.

I am concerned about start –up costs.

With every career move you make there is some cost to it. You will need necessary tools to do a great job, laptop, home office, and various business materials. Keep in mind these are tax deductible and are considered business expenses. Payment for samples is discussed with you during training.

When is the next training session in my state?
