Would there be anybody interested if I could create a sales team that would market and sell their products and services?

How much would it cost? If it were a commission system, that`d be cool.

I think it depends on how it was set up.  My first desires were to make it free to participate but it seems everybody wants to make a buck.  I have an ASP provider that has offered me the software and all the support I need but they require 1.75$ a month (which reduces with the more distributors that are active)  per member for their services.   

Yes commission, That is unless you know of a better  way.

What would you like to sell???

Kathy,

If I remember correctly there were only accouple of wise  crackers.

I asked to form a network, I do not remember making any time promises for implementation.

Why Now??

1. timing is everything.

2. SuN has already developed a segment of the idea, it is called the Market Place.

I`ll stop here because I`m trying to be nice.

We`ve had all this. People have tried to build a business idea around the entrepreneurial energy of this site. I think MiteyMite said it all, when she pointed out that the whole reason someone becomes an enterpreneur is to do it themselves.

I think the best way for this to work would be to develop it. When it`s up and running, people can either join or not. It`s like any other business, basically. Don`t talk about what you`re gonna do...just go do it. It`ll succeed or fail, based on all the variables we all talk about on this forum. :-)

I think Craig pretty much hit the nail on the head-- I hope to need salespeople in the next few months :) What a good problem to have!

The other side of that coin is that salesepeople almost always want a base salary to live on until they make thier first few sales. Especially in the case of larger contracts that DO take time to develop and manage, I can undersand that....at least to a certain point.

The downside is that puts the "burden of proof" on the employer to make sure his prospective employee will actually produce sales at some point. I have heard horror stories of employers paying 2-3 months of salary for $0.00 in increase of sales :(

This sounds like it may be an interesting concept.  I, too, find myself in a situation where I will very soon need to hire my initial sales team.  Paying a base salary at this early stage in my venture (I and a small team develop custom business software) to sales people seems risky.  This said, I remember all too well the drudgery of working to make someone else rich, and don`t want to take advantage of anyone.

Interesting
