Exhausted from failure

[Kak]

door to door sales is part of the economy... when I started my company most of business came that way... and 90 percent of them turned into repeat customers.

As long as you have something of value people will sign up. The hard part is developing a solid sales pitch... I suggest hiring some experienced door to door sales people along with a bunch of enthusiastic young people.. beware some sales people will try and scam you...

As you go on you can test different sales pitches and scale your business by hiring managers who get paid based on the sales of their sales people...

That is actually the original business plan, I dont know why Ive strayed but it really makes perfect sense. Im going to develop a great pitch myself and then train comission only sales people to do the same. They cant really try to scam me in this case. I dont take money. Just contracts. Paper at first then I was thinking tablet PCs for the higher producers. I like a hybrid of you and Kwarners advice, thank yall.
