Pay by performance telemarketing?

Then the solution is to make some sales on your own to pay them... One offline sale can make $1000 and thats enough to pay a telemarketer for 20 hours per week for an entire 5 weeks straight... you could test them out $100. a time (10 hours).

So for a thousand dollars, you could find good help over a couple of weeks time.

You cant bring a sales group together and care for them like your own children if you arent the alpha and you cant provide for them. It doesnt mean you are out of the game, and others will tell you different, but they are wrong... You have to take care of anyone you bring into your organization and they have to feel secure that you are a strong leader. Pay helps with that. it also puts the law of reciprocity on the right side of the table for your success and harvest.

Provide a good enough opportunity and WILD HORSES wont drive your TMS away, the problem here is that people are wanting to make one sided agreements with telemarketers, as if they are ignorant, when in fact a good telemarketer is as sharp as a tack! If you are trying to hide your start up status from them, they can read you like a book. They get paid to read people over the phone professionally.

Does that mean you cant work as a start up? No they will be glad to lend a hand to the cause, but they arent ignorant, they know they are building your business and they want to be paid for their talent with no qualms.

A telemarketer wants to be invited into your business, he doesnt want the WHOLE THING TO HINGE upon him...If it does, and he senses that you lose, and rightfully so, because its your business not his. Remember, he is a Job seeker, not an "opportunity seeker".

So whats the solution when you have no money to hire - Go make some. I did it, so I do take my own advice here. You will have to get some capital or earn some.

EDIT:

The other way is to target "opportunity seekers", sell your opportunity like a franchise... and charge people to work with you,. that takes a good presentation that shows them a ton of opportunity, but thats not "hiring telemarketers", thats more "Starting an offline affiliate network". Difference in approaches.

You could also take a shot gun approach and with the same $1000 put 3 major ads in three major cities, and generate HUNDREDS of applications... and if you are dealing with those kinds of numbers then you could find alot of needles in the haystack that would work for free... but if you are just interviewing a person here or there, ten per month... You are going to have to have a solid compensation to offer because it will take FOREVER to find those rare people who will work on commission at a rate of just a few interviews per week.
