The next part of this form focuses on defining the Commissioned Transactions successfully closed by the Sales Agent.

This should be followed by the applicable Commission Percentage that must be paid documented in the third column. When you have declared each transaction, its Sales Amount, and the Commission Percentage required, multiply the “Sales Amount” with the “Commission %” (for each row) then place the product in the column titled “Amount.” Finally, add every number you calculated in the “Amount” column to one sum then report the result in the last field of this table “Total.”

6 – Solidify Applicable Terms With This Client

A time limit can be imposed on the Recipient’s Payment of this Invoice using the statement beginning with the term “Payment Is Due.” Simply declare how many days you will give the Recipient to pay this Invoice after it has been successfully delivered by entering this number on the blank line provided.
