Independent Contractor Onboarding Agreement

PURPOSE

This Independent Contractor Onboarding Agreement ("Agreement") establishes the terms under which the Contractor (Sales Representative) is authorized to represent Applanta Solutions in the field. This Agreement works in conjunction with the Sales Representative Commission Agreement and the Non-Disclosure Agreement, all of which must be signed prior to beginning any sales activities on behalf of Applanta.

1. AUTHORIZATION TO REPRESENT

1.1 The Company hereby authorizes the Contractor to represent Applanta Solutions and present its services to prospective clients beginning on the effective date of this Agreement.

1.2 The Contractor shall at all times conduct themselves in a professional manner befitting the Applanta brand and reputation.

1.3 This authorization is non-transferable and may be revoked at any time by the Company.

2. ONBOARDING CHECKLIST

2.1 The following must be completed before the Contractor begins representing Applanta (check when complete):

3. TOOLS & SYSTEMS

3.1 The Contractor shall be provided access to the Company's proprietary tools:

• ASET (applanta-aset.web.app) — Field sales tool for lead logging, quoting, and payment collection
• DASH (applanta.app) — Team dashboard for commissions, chat, goals, and performance tracking
• Prompter (applanta.app/prompter.html) — Sales intelligence tool for real-time call scripts, objection rebuttals, FOMO talking points, lead queue, and call logging
• TRAINING (applanta-training.web.app) — Rep onboarding academy and continuing education

3.2 All sales activities must be conducted through approved Company tools only. The Contractor acknowledges that ASET, DASH, and Prompter are proprietary software owned exclusively by Applanta Solutions and agrees not to share, reproduce, or attempt to replicate these tools in any form.

4. CODE OF CONDUCT

4.1 The Contractor agrees to:

• Log EVERY lead in ASET — unlogged sales are NOT eligible for commission under any circumstances
• Use Prompter during all cold calls and follow-ups — call logs are reviewed by ownership
• Never share Prompter login credentials or script content with anyone outside the Company
• Never promise a delivery timeline without checking with JR first
• Never discuss internal commission rates, build costs, or internal tools with clients
• Never bash competitors — position Applanta apps as a complement to existing tools
• Always collect a deposit before leaving a client meeting
• Follow up on "I'll think about it" responses within 48 hours

5. RUSH SERVICE POLICY

5.1 When a client requests 24–48 hour delivery instead of the standard 3–7 business day timeline, the Contractor may add the Rush Service fee of $150 to the build total.

5.2 The Rush Service toggle appears on the Price tab in ASET AFTER the client has selected their plan. It is a standalone add-on and should only be activated if the client specifically requests expedited delivery.

5.3 Rush Service may also be added post-sale via the DASH dashboard if the client requests expedited delivery after the initial quote.

6. PROHIBITED CONDUCT

6.1 The Contractor shall not:

• Make false claims about app features, delivery times, or Company capabilities
• Share or distribute client data, contact information, or business details outside Applanta

• Use Applanta's name, branding, or tools to conduct unauthorized business

7. SOCIAL MEDIA & MARKETING

7.1 The Contractor may not create social media content, advertisements, or marketing materials representing Applanta without prior written approval from the Owner.

7.2 Any approved social media posts must accurately represent the Company's services and pricing.
