Question About Getting Salespeople

Dear Griff,

Thanks.

As a salesperson I've often been willing to work for ONE %age. But after asking a Question - was able to double or triple that.

What's the question?

"How much do you pay your current salespeople, contractors, telemarketers?"

So.

Thinking backwards from that.

One way to get a PAY ball-park baseline to start from is:

A - Call local companies you may want to hire salespeople away from. Pose as a salesperson. Ask what they pay.

Your REAL Challenge may be figuring out how much you will be Forced to pay to attract salespeople.

That's one way to begin.

There are many others.

You might get a feel for local Radio, TV and Newspaper ad costs too. AND what they pay advertising salespeople - in similar ways.

Call up and pretend to want to buy ad space.

Thanks,

Glenn

For example, if the charge to the client is, say, $300 per year, what would be the best way to structure it for commisions? Thanks!
