  • Publication number: 20200342481
    Abstract: A method and system are described for promoting sales offers through a dynamic, on-demand sales force. Merchants may generate and publish promotional offers (“deals”) that include commissions. A salesperson (“drummer”) may select a deal for promotion to potential buyers. A unique QR code associating the selected deal with the drummer is created. The QR code may be shared by the drummer with an interested buyer for the goods or services associated with the deal. To redeem the deal, the buyer presents the shared QR code to the merchant. The merchant, in turn, applies the deal terms to a purchase transaction and, based on the QR code, a commission is debited from a merchant account and credited to a drummer account. Certain embodiments leverage presentment triggers to alert the drummer to previously selected deals which may be relevant and timely for presentment to a buyer.
