Diary of Opening A New Business

[LightHouse]

Actually we are selling both. They go together, I just don't want to give away to much here. (niche market) and 3 of the 6 are fulfillment. Ultimately in the next 24 months, I am hoping to need a 100,000 sq ft warehouse along with the office staff... I would rather not say more, not that it is a big secret or anything, a ton of people do the same thing, just not yet..




Not, yet, one of the salespeople has 2 friends, that she thinks will work, I can fill spaces, just not looking to do that, I am still not 100% confident with the system yet, how to sell, how to train, so I am being selective, I just need to get training and an average down and then I will hire and hire...

Well up to the 10 people we need... It is a niche product so not that many people to call.

I certainly understand your need for not disclosing the product. i was curious because you have only talked of sales folks and selling, not the "not-so-fun" stuff like order fullfilment and customer service. Since both of those have to scale respective the the amount of sales and sales people you hire.
