Recently, I became very interested in the idea of being a negotiator. I want to act as an intermediary, identifying untapped opportunities and facilitating deals between parties. The challenge is, I don’t have much time as I already run a business, so I’m looking for a salesperson to be my voice—someone who can make cold calls and close deals on my behalf.

The problem is, I’m not sure how to find a truly qualified salesperson. Most candidates seem underwhelming, and I can’t find anyone who is really hungry for success. How did you go about finding a truly skilled salesperson? What questions should I ask during the interview? What key points should I focus on? Should I offer a fixed salary or commission-based pay?

I would really appreciate any advice you can offer!
