Hello,

I am thinking of paying a freelancer $200 for every closed client for my B2B Digital Marketing Agency.

The $200 is only a starting payment, but will be doubled after the 50th closed client.

However, it turns out there are 2 seperate parts which I thought was just 1 part. The first, to find potential leads (prospects) and secondly to close them. In which case $200 are turning out to be way less than what I first thought. Someone even had a go at me about that. They said that $200 for just closing a client is fine but the payment won't cut it for doing both tasks.

A different person told me that what I am wanting is a business development, where the following is involved: finding prospects and leads, warming them and then closing them.

What will be a reasonable payment to a freelancer for doing both - finding prospects and closing them? (a permanent position)

I am looking forward to your inputs.

Thank you in advance! :)
