TIPS to building an OFFLINE sales Force

8 replies
Hey everyone, I have recently expanded my offline sales force and went from 1 to 5 in a short period of time. Even though I am dedicating loads of time to training them and making them feel comfortable and confident to speak to business owners I know I am building a foundation of something great!

I wanted to share some of the ads I have been using. I change them up and post every week on a few websites like craigslist and kijiji and research other free job posting sites in the city I want to hire in.

The point here is being consistent with ads and eventually you will get some good apples.
You may have to go through the bad ones to get the good ones =)
We have one new rep who is working on a massive deal right out of the gates.
This deal may take us a few weeks to wrap up but it is a BIG one!

Here are a few of the ads I use
Before I post it's also great to be prepared for responses. I have a whole system I have developed when responding to replies, resumes and to training them etc...

This makes things run so much smoother and I do not feel over whelmed at all if 15 resumes come in at once!

I use 2 methods now for recruiting because I know summer is almost here and I want to also get some college kids promoting. I use the traditional offline gold packages/workshops and then the FREE giveaway program with the continuity back end

Here are just a few I use way more then these but wanted to share a few =)

Business to Business rep needed to start next week!
Duties
Enrol businesses in a free webinar that teach online marketing techniques
You follow up with them and you get a nice commission for the package they choose to purchase. Commission ranges from $100.00-$2000 per sale depending on the package they purchase.

      Great post. Thanks!

      In this economy, I would guess there are plenty of college students looking for jobs that are often nonexistent. So your ad is a welcomed unexpeceted opportunity.

      Typically, how much time do you spend on training? I'm sure it differs for each person... but on average.

      Thanks for sharing your approach.

        Yes it does depend, I usually do at least 2 webinars and 1 in person 1st. I will even drive a few hours to meet a bunch. Line up a day to meet 5-6
        With Students I need to see how they look =)

        My process is this with the students
        1st phone interview and at the end I ask them the interest level 1-10
        Then I set up an actual interview in person (if they live hours away I want a web meeting so I can see them) web cams are dirt cheep if they do not have one =)
        After that if I want to hire them I send them the contracts via e-mail
        When I get them back I set up the 1st webinar training
        I do a second webinar a few days later
        Then if they are comfortable they can start or if not I ask what areas do they
        Need more help in understanding and we do another training on that


        Students really love this opportunity, I had one interview tonight and he said he is not interested in flipping burgers and he really wants this experience! Again you will have to filter through the students but hey it's worth it!

    In terms of focus, I'm building a sales force that will sell my workshops first - (MarketingRats.com). From there...(after I've made them money) I will roll out selling my marketing services.

    Sincerely,

    Chris Negro

      I agree this is really nice information thanks for sharing. When you iron it all out this would make a super offline WSO :-)
