To count as a sale, walk away with: Signed & enforceable contract for service, or Filled out Credit Card auth form (paper & signature works) 'We can invoice you, no problem, but we need a CC & auth today to turn on your service immediately. We promise to only charge the CC when we don't receive payment after the invoice is past its due date and will email you 2 business days prior to charging your card. My accoutning group tells me we rarely have to charge the card, but it ensures uninterrupted service due to some small accounting issue.' Dont pay out/promise commissions until you get paid! See also clawbacks for terminations. Sales needs to get the money fully across the finish line. best of luck
