Commission-only sales, done honestly

You publish the deal — commission, deal size, cycle, payout. Reps who meet your criteria apply. You pick, they sell. No salary, no retainer, no recruiter fee.

A product demo on sample data: a company fills in a listing's terms and the live preview shows what a rep earns per closed deal; then a rep opens a listing on the marketplace.

Why we exist

No salary.No retainer.No mystery.

The only three things a commission-only deal needs to lose — and the only three things most of them keep.

Commission-only can be the best deal in sales — for both sides — as long as nobody has to guess. So we made the numbers mandatory. A company can't publish an opportunity without the commission, the deal size, the cycle and the payout timing. A rep never applies blind. That's the whole idea.

  • Numbers are mandatory

    Commission, deal size, cycle and payout timing are required fields. Incomplete offers don't get published.

  • Both sides can be verified

    Companies can prove who they are. Reps can prove identity and sales history — and take a screening call with us.

  • We stay out of your deal

    The agreement is signed between company and rep. We charge companies per application, never a share of commission.

Applying is free

  1. The company writes the economics

    Commission, deal size, cycle, payout, leads — required. An incomplete offer isn't published.

  2. The offer becomes a card

    Commission times deal size: every listing is worded as money per closed deal.

  3. The rep decides on facts

    What they'd earn, when they're paid and who brings the leads — before applying.

How it works

  1. Write the offer, not a job ad

    A wizard that asks for the economics a rep needs to say yes — and scores how complete your listing is before you publish.

  2. Only matching reps can apply

    Set territory, experience, industry, language and deal size. Choose Basic, Qualified or Screened. Each application is deducted from prepaid credits.

  3. Accept, talk, sign

    Read the full sales profile, accept the reps you want, agree next steps in one thread, sign the commission agreement directly.

“Show your numbers.”

A note from the founder

I've been on both sides of a bad commission deal.

I've sold software on commission for companies that changed the terms after the first deal. And I've hired reps who vanished when they realised the “average deal” was a fantasy. Neither side was lying, exactly — nobody had to write anything down.

Upside Reps is the version where you do. The company writes the offer. The rep writes the profile. Both can be verified, both are visible, and the agreement is signed between the two of you — Upside Reps just makes sure the cards are on the table first.

— Olaf, founder of Upside Reps

Before you try

The questions every founder asks us first.

Why would a good rep work commission-only?

Because here the economics are visible and real. Independent reps often carry more than one product, and they choose offers with a clear commission, a realistic cycle and a company that commits to the listed terms. Every listing must show those numbers before it can be published.

What exactly do I pay for?

Only applications from reps who meet your criteria — €19, €49 or €129 depending on the tier. You top up prepaid credits (from €250) to publish; Upside Reps charges nothing else. Commission is agreed and paid directly between you and the rep.

What if the applicants aren't good?

Tighten the criteria or move to the Screened tier, where every applicant has had a screening call with Upside Reps and comes with a written report. Application fees are not refunded — choose your criteria carefully.

Do I have to verify my company?

No — you can publish with credits alone. Verification (your legal entity, a document showing you own or represent the company, and a commitment to the terms you list) is reviewed by our team and adds a Verified company badge that reps see.

Just not for you yet. No card needed to sign up — publish when your offer is ready.
