Business is all well and good, but I'm ready for better. I'm spreading my online wings from just sticking with forums that discuss my basic trade (which is Creative Design and Production) and looking anyone who has anything interesting to say about what those services actually support: Branding, Marketing, Manufacturing & Product Sales.

More than that, I'm just scratching the surface on how to build up a sales team. I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience with this: hiring a salesperson, or someone who specializes in sales. The irony of it is of course that along the way, people just want to sell me other services: lists, contact strategies, and how to get my website noticed. Seriously, who cares! Spending money is always the easy part.

I want to meet sales people who know how to carry their own weight, and business operators who have experience in employing such professionals. So far there a few interesting prospects, and some would even be considered true contenders. But more is more. Say hello, privately or in response to this blog, so a real discussion can begin in regards to what a real sales person can accomplish and what they want as compensation.
