Where should I post this?

Hi All,


Very sorry for the total noob questions...


I have a virtual product and I want to partner exclusively with a maximum of 20 online marketers to sell this.


I want a personal relationship with each marketer. I want each person to be responsible for their own sales with no downline.


Is what I am describing more of a JV ?


Which forum should I post this to?


Thanks,


Wilson.

    You will need to build a few posts before you can promote your offering to members.

    There is a JV section to the forum but READ the STICKIES at the top of the forum and sub-forum before you just barge in there...or here.

    The JV sub-forum is here: Warrior Joint Ventures

    I would suggest you add some value before you start promoting.

    Introduce yourself and get to know people ok?

    Best regards,

    Ozi

      Hi Ozi,


      Thank you very much for your kind reply.


      I fully appreciate that forums operate by the contribution of its members however I am left with a dilemma.


      I am here because I have no clue about online marketing and cannot truthfully make any realistically useful contribution to this forum other than my offer of collaboration.


      How do you suggest I proceed?


      Thanks,


      Wilson.

    I think this could work as a paid ad in Help Wanted.

    I suggest to first gather up some data for your affiliates Some EPC's. If you want any affiliate that are worth anything you need to provide this. Nobody will promote your offer without first knowing you have a product or service that is converting.

      This would be true for affiliate products. But what the OP is talking about is a different arrangement. The OP wants a handful of direct salespeople in charge of their own funnels.

        Hi Jason,


        Yes. I'm looking for, as you say, a handful of people ideally with an existing relationship with customers in my target audience.


        I wanted to keep the numbers small in order to establish personal relationships between myself & my salesforce and also to not dilute the market for those sales people.


        Traditionally I'd offer territories but that won't wash in todays internet age.


        I had a look at the Help Wanted ads but my ad would have to run


        "Wanted, people to sell service for commission" which is the definition of affiliate sales


        "Definition: A way for a company to sell its products by signing up individuals or companies ("affiliates") who market the company's products for a commission ."


        And that's not allowed in Help Wanted (which I quite agree with).


        So, I'm still kind of stuck.


        Thinking outside the box, I could advertise for "Someone to help me find suitable affiliates for <insert service here> sales"


        And then we're into exactly the scenario I don't want which is profit dilution for the sales people.




        Thanks,


        Wilson.

    Submit the ad and see if it gets approved.

    You're looking for independent salespeople, not mass affiliates.
