I own a new business IT services startup. Since the business is still new I still have my full time tech job. Basically I am at the stage where I am ready to start marketing and looking for clients. My question is this:
Are there salespeople out there that work strictly on commission selling IT service contracts to businesses?
Obviously, I would want to pay a salary for a full time salesman, but I’m just not able to afford that right now. I was thinking that if I could find someone to do it, 10% of the annual contract would be fair compensation. Does that sound about right?
Note: I am not looking for a salesman on the TR boards, I am just looking for some advice on hiring a salesman.
