Your salesperson who goes door-to-door generating leads

Listen

1. AExplain that as her employer, YOUR license is on the line for every contract she signs. She must include cancellation notices on all door-to-door contracts, display your MHIC number, and never pressure elderly or vulnerable homeowners
   Correct

   Under COMAR 09.08.01.07, a salesperson operates under the contractor's license. Their violations are YOUR violations. Key requirements for door-to-door sales: (1) salesperson must be licensed with MHIC; (2) must display contractor's MHIC number; (3) contract must include 3-day cancellation notice; (4) must provide all required contract elements. Train your people or lose your license.

2. BJust tell her to always include the cancellation notice — everything else is fine
   Incomplete

   The cancellation notice is critical but it's not the only requirement. Brenda also needs her own MHIC salesperson's license (COMAR 09.08.01.05), must display your license number in all dealings, and needs to understand advertising rules (COMAR 09.08.01.09). A partially trained salesperson is still a liability.
