I have a standing offer to anybody to pay them 100% of the profits off of anything they create for 12 months for my product.
I've offered higher amounts as well (200% of profits, 120% of sales) in order to incentivize people to try.
In my experience it's really hard to find qualified sales people and the time investment in finding good people is expensive so by being too cheap, you end up spinning wheels, making no money, AND wasting your time.
- pieterhg 13y agoThanks ezl. What do you consider profits though? I have no costs except for a cheap Linode VPS (and my own salary?).
- ezl 13y agoFor the deals I've offered, it was always sales - variable cost of sales. I sell credit reports. So just take out the vendor cost of the reports. I am happy to eat credit card fees, server fees, any other fixed costs for running the business, salaries etc. to test candidates if it helps me find good people.
