So he introduced you to the CEO/boss of the company that he works for?
Does he receive payment/commission from the company that he works for?
If so, he can be paid by the company that he works for.
You can always state in your business meetings with the CEO that this specific sales representative is the reason why this meeting has been set up for the two sides, but you don't owe this guy/girl anything.
Stick with your gut feeling.
What Dunkafelics said. You should go to his superiors. You don't owe the sales rep a dime, he is willingly employed for whatever he gets paid from his company to do his job. If he wanted a commission he would have gotten a different job.
Godda play this carefully tho as others have said. I would cut the sales guy out of the loop ASAP. Go straight to his superior.
Let us know what ends up happening. Super sticky sitch!
