    Anyone knows where to find sales agents on comission only?

    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?

    call centre sales

    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.

    Campaign search, please help.

    Quick answer is to utilise your call centre staff to call businesses to find you more campaigns. If your teams can generate appointments for your clients they should be abe to do it for you.
