Hi Charles,
It can't do any harm to email the head honcho at said company and ask. A time ago I liked such a product and asked the director about becoming a direct reseller or agent.
I think the company were interested in my proposal but because I really had no track record in selling, they weren't ready to commit. I guess they wanted to see immediate sales.
So definitely worth trying if you have solid sales experience as they may agree.
Best wishes for your business.

There is the traditional way of buying the product and the reselling, but that involves receiving payment, shipping, etc. Without becoming a distributor of the product, I don't think you have many options. Companies that don't have affiliate programs want to be in total control of marketing, customer service, pricing etc.

Hey Charles

I guess one of the ways would be to go to the company directly and present them with a plan for you to be an independent commissioned sales agent. If you sell, you and the company earn. The logistics will depend on what type of product it is etc.

Maybe you can find out what is required to have a company like you identify join an affiliate program in their niche. Then, if you are able, assist the company becoming part of the affiliate program. You might be able to do that for several companies not currently in programs. Develop a special skillset. it's a win win situation both sides.
