Are you a Salesperson or an Agent

This question has arisen in jurisdictions "where the law of agency prevails", as it has been suggested that a salesperson’s primary duty is to sell the product/property, whereas an agent’s primary duty is to protect their client/principal.

The question arises, as how you view yourself ... are you acting as salesperson or an agent?
