Do experienced part-time salespeople exist in the professional services world? 🚀 Need Advice from Sales Professionals! We’re exploring an opportunity to grow our outbound sales team at Bottle Rocket Media (BRM), and we're having a friendly debate: 👉 Option 1: Hire a junior go-getter with little experience to learn and grow. Base salary, plus commission and bonus. Or 👉 Option 2: Hire a more experienced sales professional part-time. Hourly based, plus commission. Assume the pre-commission costs (salary or hourly wages) are the same annually. The debate is: • Which relationship will help us achieve our goals faster? • Which relationship will provide more consistency? • Which relationship is the best value? If this resonates with you—whether you’re in the game, know someone who is, or are open to sharing some advice, message me, tag someone who might be interested, or leave a comment below.  Thanks!

Recruiter: “You need B2B sales experience for this role. You have quality experience but it doesn’t directly translate. Try applying to one of these companies to gain experience.” Company A: “You need B2B sales experience to qualify for this position.” How does one gain experience if no one takes a chance to allow people to prove themselves? This is true for many different lines of work.

The highest paid person at every company has 1 thing in common 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆. Why do great salespeople make so much money? It’s simple. They tolerate the discomfort of being rejected. Ultimately, making the sale comes down to picking up the phone over and over again and not being afraid of rejection…because you’ll get a lot of it. Rejections sucks. I’ve been hung up on more times than I can count when cold calling hiring software companies to source candidates. I’ve been laughed at on calls with potential investors. I’ve had folks tell me we’ll never make money and that we should find something else to do. Get used to it. Because sales is a numbers game, pure and simple. Even if your close rate is only 2%, if you can push through 100 calls a day, that’s two new customers every day.
