Sales Agent Guide

A sales agent is a professional who represents a company to sell its products or services, often working independently and earning commission-based income.

This job is similar to bank agents, MTN Mobile Money agents, Lyca or Airtel SIM registration agents, and Pay TV agents (like DSTV or StarTimes). These agents help customers sign up or access services and earn a commission for every transaction or sale.

As an OBlinks Sales Agent, you do the same by helping business owners sign up for OBlinks packages to promote their businesses online. You share your unique referral link, assist them in choosing the right package, and guide them through the signup process. Every time a business owner pays for a package through your link, you earn a commission.

For example, you might visit local shops to explain OBlinks, share your link in WhatsApp groups for businesses, or promote OBlinks in markets and trade shows. The more businesses you help get online, the more you earn. This guide explains how to do it effectively and maximize your earnings.

1

Get Your Referral Link

Log in to your OBlinks account and navigate to the "Earnings Dashboard" to find your unique referral link.

2

Promote OBlinks

Share your referral link with business owners through WhatsApp, social media, or in-person meetings.

3

Assist with Signup

Help businesses sign up using your link and choose the right package for their needs.

4

Earn Commission

When a business you refer upgrades to a paid package, you earn commission based on your agent level.

Commission Structure

Your commission rate depends on your sales agent level:

  • Starter Agent: 20% commission on all referred packages
  • Professional Agent: 60% commission on all referred packages
  • Enterprise Agent: 80% commission on all referred packages

Commission is paid annually to your mobile money or bank account. You can track your earnings in the Earnings Dashboard.
