Help with freelance work!

[Phone pro]

Hi,

I want to become a freelance sales agent, anything I can sell on the phone. Recent skill I've found is that I'm a master closer on the phone. Where will I find opportunities where I can sell on the phone, preferably warm leads. Don't mind going commission only if the leads are good enough, and a decent commission. Is agentbase any good or similar agencies?

Make some calls to gain your own customers?

I'm kinda with @telemax on this one, if you're good at selling do it to sell yourself. When the client is unsure if it works, you can remind them that that is exactly what you're doing now!

If you're really good at closing try pitching yourself to one of the decision makers in a SaaS company, usually a good commission structure with some amazing potential earnings. Last time I checked salesforce have a pretty good pay scheme.

The most commonly asked questions about sales for young businesses are roughly:

'how can I work effectively with commission-only salespeople'.

If you really are a great closer:

a) create a list of potential targets (I can help you do that if its new to you)
b) find out who the decision makers are
c) find out how to contact them
d) call them until you get some business.

If you are a great closer, you should get a trial or a regular client within a week of calling. Without a reputation you may find it hard to start out, but I think this is your way in, prove your skills by using them to get you in there.

Im with Telemax also, build a list of potential customers and contact them to see if they outsource the telesales side of the business or have considered it.
