How do I grow my business without having money available to spend on recruiting sales people?

You are a small business that seriously wants to grow, offering more services and products and employment to people

Wages are generally one of the biggest outgoing costs a business pays out

Banks are still causing issues with regards to providing overdrafts and loans to businesses that desperately need help to survive

So how do you find the finance to grow?

A common role most essential in any business is the ‘Sales Person’

If the business doesn’t have the available money/funds to pay the Sales Person in the first few months (settling in period before new sales start to come in) - how do they push the business forward to raise awareness and make more sales?

What current products or services does the business already sell, that doesn’t require the extra hire of a Sales Person?

Does the business have something else in place that generates the extra revenue?

You could look at hiring a Freelance Sales Person on an hourly rate instead?

You’re more likely to be in control of how much you can and can’t afford to spend each month instead of worrying about employment costs, paying all the extras on top.

Or you could try the commission only on a trial.

Once new jobs/sale of your products starts to come in - this should generate available money to spend more hours on the Freelance Sales Person.

As long as you watch your finances and make sure enough money is coming in to pay the Freelance Sales Person - this should work.
