A licensed contractor is permitted to act as a salesperson under the condition that a salesperson is not a contractor. This means that while the contractor has the qualifications to perform construction work and may have the required licenses for contracting, they can also participate in sales activities within the bounds of their licensed capacity.

In many jurisdictions, the distinction is made between the roles of contractors and salespersons in the context of construction and real estate. A contractor is someone who is legally allowed to conduct construction work, while a salesperson typically engages in the promotional and sales aspects of construction services. Since a contractor is already established in their capabilities, they can also take on sales roles, as long as they comply with local regulations and do not breach any necessary licensing requirements in doing so.

The other conditions mentioned, such as needing additional certifications, being full-time, or the salesperson working independently, are not universally applicable to all licensed contractors. Thus, the recognition of a contractor's dual capacity emphasizes the flexibility within their licensing status as it relates to selling services.
