Questions and Answers Q: Can the old agreements and registration forms still be used?
A: As of June 1, 2008 the new enrollment forms will be required.
Q: Is an IBO/Customer automatically registered for the next training
program after they purchase a wholesale training package?
A: No, they can choose training dates which best fit their schedule.
Registration is required for each program by contacting the
Meetings/Training Dept. We encourage early registration.

Q: How do I change status or help one of my customers/IBOs change
their status?
A: Complete an application or registration form by checking the desired
status change box, filling in the name and address fields, signing and
sending to Conklin.
Q & A Continued…
Q: Is the sponsor required to sign and provide contact information
on either enrollment form for a change of status?
A: No, a sponsor’s contact information and signature are only required
on the initial agreement or registration form.
Q: What is a co-applicant?
A: Co-applicant is a legal spouse, who has the right to sponsor and
equal ownership rights as an IBO. To be a co-applicant, the spouse
must provide their Social Security number and date of birth on the
enrollment form. A spouse’s name can be added to the account as a
courtesy, in instances where the spouse doesn’t want to be involved
in the business.
Q: Can my business partner be a co-applicant?
A: No, Conklin accepts only a legal spouse as co-applicant on the IBO
agreement.
Q & A Continued…
Q: Can a business name be listed on an IBO agreement?
A: No, the IBO is required to personally complete the IBO agreement
using first and last name. To include your company name a Business
Supplemental Agreement is required. The purpose of the Business
Supplemental Agreement is to allow an IBO to assign commissions,
earnings and bonuses paid by the Conklin Company, to their corporation,
partnership or LLC for tax reporting purposes. The Business
Supplemental does not transfer ownership of the agreement to the
business.
Q: Where can I locate a Business Supplemental Agreement?
A: Please contact Business Marketing for this document.
Q: Can a prospect complete the IBO Agreement and Business
Supplemental Agreement at the same time?
A: Yes, please document on cover letter that the Business Supplemental
Agreement is attached.
Q & A Continued…
Q: What is the difference between “resell” and “retail”?
A: Resell is when an IBO sells Conklin products at retail price. Retail is
when a store or business retails Conklin products at retail price (noted on
front of IBO agreements). IBOs are welcome to purchase products from
all Conklin product lines for personal use and for resale. Retailers are
required to complete a Commercial Purchaser Agreement.
Q: Where are tax exempt forms on the IBO Information Center?
A: You can find both the agriculture and reseller’s tax exempt forms in
the Business Marketing section under Tax Exempt Forms by state.
Q. How can I receive a Commercial Purchaser Agreement?
A. Please contact the Sales Center. They can offer you a selection of
Commercial Purchaser packets, which include our Commercial
Purchaser Agreement, a product catalog and literature and instructions
on how to order and do business with Conklin.
