If your starting up I would recommend investing in some sales training, and pounding the streets yourself. If your business model is sound, when your sales cycle breaks (ie; you have no time for new business because of existing accounts) take on someone else.

If you're a bit bigger than that, taking on proven sales people is always a bright move, leaving you free to control the rest of the chain to consumer.

Cheers

By the way I recruit sales people

We need to go tad bigger than that - it's a new product being launched by a telecoms company and we need to hit all our retail outlets in the UK and possibly Europe.

No body on here in the field then?

I am a field marketer - as in I go do the mystery shopping, auditing, merchandising, etc.

I can give you the names of the companies I work for if you that is what you are after? They also do other stuff, but that is all I am involved in

WD - that would be a great help.

I need a company that can make around 1,000 calls a month.

Any chance you could email me some names or your contact number and I'll give you a call tomorrow?

Thanks

Dave - sorry if I was a bit abrupt, been a long day!

I may be looking for some slightly higher level sales people in around 2-3 months but right now we are still looking at right stratagy for the launch. I suspect it will be a combination of methods initially. If you recruit into the city at a fairly junior level at this stage then please send me your details and I can kick them up to the HR lot. Will be a couple of months until I make a deciaion on hiring staff but can certainly see if they are looking to work with anyone.

Cheers
