Hi all,
I've built my start-up business to the point where our major revenue bottleneck is in sales and lead generation. It seems most folks here are of the DIY mindset with this stuff, however I'd prefer to offload the task so that it can be done better (I know I'm not the best with sales!), so I can focus on other parts of the biz, and so it can be done faster / at greater volumes. My business is a service one and a single gig pulls in about $2-3k in revenue, so my thought was to hire someone with a 10-15% commission arrangement. (Under my own efforts we're closing about 1-2 / month. I would like to get to 10/month as a first step)
Is this common? If so, what are the best places to find the right freelance sales agent?
Thanks in advance!
