The contractors your business manages

Field Sales

Connect independent sales work to accounts, follow-up, and agreed fees.

Independent sales representatives build buyer relationships, introduce product lines, develop accounts, and follow up on commercial opportunities. Mezline helps you define the representative’s engagement, retain the agreed activity and sales records, and review compensation against the contract.

Explore the services

Start with the service you need

Different jobs need
different proof.

Give the contractor a brief that explains the work, then ask for the records your team needs to review the result.

Make the assignment useful

A store visit needs a commercial purpose.

A representative may meet a retail buyer to introduce a product line, answer questions, and agree a quotation or sample follow-up. State that objective in the engagement. Store photos or a visit timestamp alone do not explain the selling contribution or establish that a commission is due.

01New account development

What the brief should specify

Target account types, territory, products or services represented, agreed outreach scope, and reporting expectations.

What to collect for review

Relevant buyer conversations, qualified opportunities, and next steps agreed with the prospect.

02Buyer meetings and presentations

What the brief should specify

The buyer’s needs, product line, approved commercial materials, and the representative’s authority to discuss terms.

What to collect for review

Meeting outcomes, buyer questions, requested samples or quotations, and follow-up actions.

03Existing account growth

What the brief should specify

Accounts included, reorder or expansion objectives, contact responsibilities, and any excluded house accounts.

What to collect for review

Account updates, reorder opportunities, customer concerns, and documented handoffs.

04Sales and compensation review

What the brief should specify

The agreed fee or commission basis, eligible transactions, reporting period, expense rules, and your approval process.

What to collect for review

Supporting sales or order references, the submitted compensation statement, and explanation of adjustments.

The contractor's record

Keep the work visible.

The representative records the agreed account updates and follow-up outcomes. Your team can review the selling contribution alongside the engagement terms and relevant messages.

When something changes

If a buyer requests a discount outside the representative’s authority or an account falls outside the agreed territory, refer it to your commercial lead. Record the decision before treating the activity or resulting sale as eligible for compensation.

Review the result

Accept the contribution.

Review the account activity and any supporting sales statement against the agreement. Your team determines eligible compensation, resolves disputed transactions or adjustments, and approves the submitted charges.

Connect acceptance to payment

Explain the charge.

Use the agreed compensation terms and your team’s approved amounts to review the contractor invoice and pay through Mezline. Your staff remains responsible for calculating and confirming any commission entitlement before payment.
