    Thank you for your advice. Re. your question, I didn't pay anything. Just did my due diligence and chose someone who had years of experience in the field, agreed to work on commission basis, and wasn't promising the world.

    Thank you for your reply. That's indeed all I have from the consultant, and, they get a 15% commission on the sales. That's a good suggestion, thank you. Let me look into that.
