Hello All,
I've been in business for about 5 years now. I have had some ups and downs but over the last year the business feels like it hit a tipping point and I have a good number of clients paying various monthly and referring steady new business to me.
The upshot is, I'm very comfortable financially BUT growth is still very slow because I'm trying to do all sales while also trying to run the business.
The business specialises in Web Design and Adwords for small businesses.
It's time to start removing myself from the sales process so I now embark on the daunting task of finding my first sales person.
I would be delighted to hear your thoughts on the process or recommendations for reading material or training.
Currently I have no office and I kind of like not being tied down in that way. HOWEVER, I realise that having an office might make this process much easier.
I also realise there are other options at least worth considering. I've listed some ideas I'm considering right now below:
- Get an office, hire a salaried sales person
- Get an office, hire a commission sales person
- Do either of the above but have that person work from home
So, over to you, any input appreciated.
All the best
