Hi all,
I am 24 working as a retail manufacturers rep. I got the company I work for (a US factory that makes consumer products) into 3 huge retailers (one of them is Costco Wholesale). From 0 last year with those accounts we are at over $1.5 mil.
My problem is while I have a hand shake deal with the owner, and he is a business owner with a very high reputation for honesty and ethics, I don't have anything in writing. The owner wants to base everything off of our relationship and our hand shake.
Does anyone have any insight into hand shake deals that have turned out ok? Or do I really need to start looking at convincing him to do something in writing?
