    Self employed sales executives - I am angry!

    Bit late to the party here but I just have to say this isn't true. You're citing IR35 as the reason, being that any tax saving you make being a ltd co working full time for another company will be eaten up and now with the requirements for contractors to have all the same rights a perms meaning...

    Commission only rates?

    Sounds pretty painful... All very good to know. I guess if you were looking for generic sales bods then you may want AB to stop the torrent, but for something so specific it would surely make sense to want people to get in touch direct! If I do go with AB, I'll certainly update this thread with...

    Commission only rates?

    Absolutely, and very good information... If I do go down the AB route, then I'll certainly make sure that I get contacted directly, but you make it sound like you'd rather not use AB if possible? How else can sales agents be found? With specialities in specific sectors? I've seen Commission...

    Commission only rates?

    This is excellent advise, just what I'm after as I'd not want to waste precious funds on an advert that wouldn't garner any use and waste both the agents and my time. Just as a defence to myself (I know!), I'm not a salesman by any stretch and come purely from a technical background, hence...

    Commission only rates?

    Thanks, it's taken quite some time to get up and running! I could suffer paying 6 months up front for a solid sale, I guess some kind of claw back clause should they cancel within that time? The trouble is, I'm not much of a sale person, however when it comes to technology and data, I'm your...

    Commission only rates?

    Hi PatientLady, It's a monthly subscription for a fully managed, cloud based, paperless system. Currently it's targeting (and setup for) Mental Health Care and Respite care. The cost depends on the number of users, but will be from £150 per month to £400 per month. That's with everything taken...

    Commission only rates?

    Reading around, you need to think that they need to be rewarded realistically... So if it's an ongoing writing assignment per month, then would the agent feel that only 3 months payments isn't fair given it's "their" client? Interesting, speaking with AgentBase yesterday, you simply advertise...

    Commission only rates?

    Thanks for the info. I hope my clients will be with me for quite a number of years, so a lifetime commission would be a problem for me, however if it attracts quality agents and gets more sales then that's ultimately the better thing. On this basis, if they were to receive a lifetime...

    Commission only rates?

    Hi, I'm looking to advertise for some freelance sales agents on AgentBase, as I understand it these people will have a list of clients to which they sell commission based products to so have good in-roads into specific sectors. Now, my product is a pay monthly subscription, so how would you...

    Do I gain anything by using drivers from the disc that comes with an item

    Yep, always better to get the latest from the internet... But make sure it's the manufacturers site, and not some dodgy "drivers download" website. ...However, if it's a network card then you'll have to use the disc before you can get online :)

    Telephone solution required

    Surely, like many businesses you have your central landline (voip, actual, whatever), if you want to go the whole hog a DDI, and your mobile. If people want to phone you, in business hours they use the landline - which can forward to your mobile, an e-Receptionist, a call-centre as required...

    Advise for specialist (cloud based) software marketing

    Hi all, Just getting started, and after spending the best part of 2 years developing a product (for a couple of companies - don't worry, I own the IP!) it's now time to start to get more businesses using it. It's core is that it's a web-based paperless system, online forms which can be...

    Telephone solution required

    Was just about to suggest VoipFone. You can download a SIP app for your phone, like Zoiper and then make call over the IP Network, from the office number. But the send and receive SMS over a different number I don't know of anyway there, sorry.

    Is anyone on Canvey Island?

    Hi Lin, Sam, I'm not too far away either, only in Rayleigh. That sounds like an interesting idea Lin, as I'm on my own at the moment I'm always online - Usually OK but can be a little frustrating when someone forgets their password at 9pm! I'd be interested to know more, Thanks, Mark
