@Zartico sales are spiraling with high churn. In between RIF's and staff exits we're down to our last three sales staff. We have other challenges-our COO has gutted our marketing and sale orgs, spends $$ at our conferences on expensive hotels, costly meals, and meeting her friends but doesnt attend sessions. My question - what lead generation services are available and has anyone had experience working with sales contractors? There is no way we can hire directly for now. We must grow.

Hi - a fractional Sales leader, Account manager, and / Business Development person is a great way to get strong talent at a fraction (haha - see what I did there?) of the price. The person needs to be set up as a 1099 / contractor.

It can also be a great way to try someone out before you hire them.

Several startups work this way and get giant-seized talent, also setting themselves up to scale.

I am a seasoned Marketing / Inside sales guy. Been doing this for like 15 years. Most of my great experiences were living in AZ. From 1992-2003. Than the sales markets were booming. This type of work now is like a Dinosaur. Its over, Im an old school hands on calling from computer lists of customers. And selling the products or service at hand. Live in Yonkers. No jobs!​

Hi Fishes,
