OFFLINE MARKETING

Lately I have been having trouble making the full transition from a full-time hourly telemarketer (approx $13 per hour) to becoming a full-time entrepreneurial telemarketer selling as an independent distributor earning fully on commission.

I have been wanting to do this ever since 2 weeks working as an hourly telemarketer because I found out that I have potential from being a top lead gen performer, making about 500 calls per day and generating 7-8 leads on avg per day for a credit card processing broker.

I tested my success by making about 200 calls for my own independent distributorship business and was able to generate about 10 solid leads, and by solid I mean leads who were the owner of the business. I know that I can make a very good income with these results, because if I telemarket full time for my own business, from 500 calls I can make 20+ solid leads per day on avg, and if even 5% of the leads bought, I would make $700+ in commission, from 1 days' worth of leads. (of course it takes a bit more time following up with the leads.)

I really want to move from making $80-$90 per day from my full-time job, to making $500-$700+ per day on avg with my own business.

I work from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday, and want to telemarket for my own business from 6 PM to 10 PM after work, however I find it difficult because after work I usually just want to do nothing and watch Netflix. If I do eliminate my laziness and telemarket for my own business right after work and on weekends, I know after 2-3 weeks I can fully transition to becoming an entrepreneur but my issue is building up the self determination to put all my off-work hours into telemarketing for my own business.

Any tips?

You can't be successful if you aren't determined to make it work.

This is a great business to have. You can find a great company that has a "referral partner program". Prospect for leads and submit those leads to get a cut of the deal.

If you do this for SaaS type companies you can usually get anywhere from 20-25% of the revenue as a payout. Citrix has a great program for their SaaS products.

You get up to 25% on any deal that closes and an additional 5-10% on every year that they renew. While I worked for them I used to get these leads and they were fantastic for the most part. I had some partners making up to 40K a month. They were prospecting mid size business for the most part. Companies with 250-500 employees.

Large enough to spend some good money, small enough to have a quick sales cycle.

The best thing is that you don't do any heavy lifting. You keep track of these leads. Once you get the one referral program down solid you can find a different product that complements the first one. Reach out to those leads that you know bought and try pitching them the new product.

Wash, rinse, & repeat.
