What do you need? An independent sales rep or a consultant filling a part-time sales role?.

I ask a question like “what do you need? An independent sales rep or a consultant filling a part time sales role” and I bet you’re going to say, “it depends”. As I try to figure out my business model, I would love feedback from business owners as to what they feel they need to help them achieve their goals.

My initial focus is on companies that may need to hire someone like myself to fulfill the role of sales (bring in leads, possibly help write and send proposals, follow up and help negotiating work). How does that sound? Would it be helpful? What about directly marketing your product or service? There are plenty of talented Marketing professionals who create marketing material and platforms. My marketing role would be more direct (such as customer calls, networking, or presentations).

I am open to feedback that business owners may have. Is there another function you need performed?

Thanks.
