Hi Amit
What are your reasons for wanting commission only sales people?
Is it that you don't want to take any risks in paying salaries in case they don't sell anything or you? Or is that you aren't confident enough in your own product?
Hi all
Not posted in ages so hoping there are still people who might be able to help or shed some light.
I've been researching available grants for business and one thing led to another and I expressed an interest in finding out about a particular company called UK Business Funding Centre...
Hi
Has anyone has any dealings with a company based in Nottingham called Quotesforyou http://www.quoteforyou.biz/ ?
Be interested to hear anyone's views on the quality of their leads and also whether anyone's had any issues with their staff returning calls/emails?
Thanks in advance
1% is 1% whether you're calling 100 or 1000 people - its still 1%
On the data front we use a couple depending upon the campaign we need it for.
Creditsafe has a nice functioning website to download data from and we use this for a lot of apprenticeship campaigns we run.

It would seem tim has lost interest in his own question !
Maybe he's lost interest in his own teams at the same rate which is resulting in so called 'bad' days.

It could be those people who are planning to work from home aren't DMs anyway and just because alot said 'more' would be working from home it could be that 1 extra person out of a company with 100 people 'might' do more work from home.
But...
Hi Charlie
Its hasn't completely disappeared as we still do most of our campaigns in this way following a short, fixed cost trial campaign - just not for companies like yours who are NOT prepared to share the risk.
I think the idea of paying another company only on a completed sale...

Looks like you need to hire yourself an MD really ?
In my experience there are very rarely any quick fixes so rather than hiring a mentor to help with marketing why not hire someone who specialises in marketing.
If you really haven't got the time to read about something which could...
Hi
We use several different data providers depending upon the campaign we're working on.
You could try Toby at Responsiva Data. If he can't get you the list you're after he'll certainly know a man who can.
By the way how are you currently targetting companies? emails, telesales, etc ?
Cheers
You're more than welcome to practise on me if you like. I'd be happy to give you some useful feedback.
You can find my contact details on our website or drop me a PM if you want
Cheers

My two pence worth.
The following is really if you're thinking of doing it yourself. Outsourcing telemarketing has its own considerations such as paying per lead against paying a day rate.
1. Be prepared - like Jessica said earlier make sure you've got a few things ready before you even...
Quick update at midday
Team of 10 are on 21 appointments so far (last 4 weeks at this time on a Friday we were on 12, 18, 10 and 15)
Team of 4 are on 9 (first week of campaign for this one)
Team of 2 are on 2 (but their target is 1 a day on that campaign !)
And here's the good part . . ...
