The franchise agent promised to share a part of his commission with me. He said he would pay cash after a month. When I insisted he gave me a post-dated cheque. A month later when I deposited the cheque, it bounced. The person stopped taking my calls. Though I persisted and a month later got my cheque encashed, it left a bad taste.
Remember to negotiate hard with them. Meal vouchers, extra holiday, cash back...
