Assembling a sales team dilemma
I am in the phase right now of constructing a sales team and creating a plan but am facing a slight dilemma. I'll keep this short, but specific.
A lot of you, as I have in the past as well, sell items/services for hundreds and even thousands of dollars. With my new venture, I am selling a service, b2b, that will only cost $10/month. The plan is the sell it in volume and have a recurring revenue stream monthly.
My problem is this. When I sold things with a larger price tag and profit in the past, I was able to pay sales professionals on commission and everybody won. My question to everyone here is:
If you were in my position, offering an inexpensive $10/mo service, how would you construct your sales team. Commission only, commission + hourly, just hourly?
Really looking forward to hearing your opinions on this and thank you in advance for any info you can provide!
