Default Re: Finding B-to-B Salesmen/women

There are 2 businesses where there are Trained Salespeople;
1) Local Newspapers
2) Local Am & FM Radio

With one of my projects I needed someone to sell my product to "Car Dealers"....so...I called the Newspaper "Display" dept & Radio Stations and asked, "Who handles Car Dealers?"

I told them I had an "Auto Product" I was coming out with and would like to talk to a salesperson.

When the "Car Dealer" salesperson came on line I told her I had a new product I was introducing and would she have time to meet me for coffee.

At coffee I showed her my product and asked her if she'd be interested in "Making Some Money, ON THE SIDE!" I told her she could bring out my product AFTER all was over with the Dealer.

I did the same with Radio salespeople and usually got salespeople.

Sometimes I'd just call the Newspaper or Radio Stations and ask to speak with an "Outside" salesperson....and ask them point blake, If they'd like to make some money "On The Side".

Granted...some considered working with me a "Conflict of Interest"...BUT, I knew that most of these folks were "Hungry" because their Commissions were NOT that great....and I was always able to get the salespeople I needed.

I've also contacted some Real Estate Agents who'd like to make some money "On The Side"....and gotten some of them.

Worth a try.
