I work in Sales. It will probably take your guys more than an hour to convince someone to put something in their bar. $15 for a couple hours is nothing. I wouldn't take that job. Maybe once they reach a certain amount of clients $15 is something, but usually with stuff like that you give them a base pay at first until they reach a certain amount of Sales per month, then get them commission. |

1 suggestion is if this is a software type operation, throw in a 1 time "user license fee" and give your sales a guy a good portion of it to give him some up front incentive while he's building a long term income base. Seriously, hollar at me if you want to chat about this some more. |

If you want high quality reps that will maintain great relationships - be selective, make it worth their time and easy from the perspective of getting paid.

Or better yet, a 1 time "user license fee" of $195 in which you get half and proceed to collect your $20 a month. That is a great solution for start up software companies hiring I-9 salesmen.

Sure, but your main selling point is that its only $100 a month and its a great service, and then you mention right before you are about to close the $195 license fee and you lose the client. Not always, but that would happen.

Depends on how valuable the service is. If you're willing to invest $1200 a year into a software program that is greatly going to help your business, $195 up front is nothing. And honestly, when I was doing poker in bars the first thing bar owners asked me was the up front licensing fee. They expected it. It was a lot easier to sell when I told them there wasn't one, but I could've got them on one if I'd pushed it.

For people that are genuinely interested... shoot me a PM and I will discuss it in further detail if you want. I am hoping to get this rolling nationwide fairly quickly. Kinda funny that my first expansion market is overseas... Last edited by AustinChief; 09-16-2009 at 02:04 PM.. |

1 time SETUP fee of $100 and $100/month OR if they sign a 6 month deal we waive the setup fee OR if they sign 1 year we waive the setup and charge $1000 for the year. Now for a salesperson I could see ...a 50/50 split on the setup fee +20% ($50+20%=$290/year) ~24% OR on a 6 month deal they get $125 ($125+$125=$250/year) ~21% OR on a 12 month deal they get $225 ($225/year) 22.5% (although it is only ~19% of the undiscounted rate) |

Go in possible client's place, try to talk to relevent person, if no go then leave literature, otherwise explain service (takes 10-15 mins max.) and leave with sale (or 2nd meeting which has always lead to sale) or again if not interested yet then leave literature. So, the process is VERY easy and VERY quick. |
