How to find sales managers worldwide?

Question

We faced with the problem on how to sell our solution abroad. One of the options is to find a salesperson and pay them monthly fee. But maybe you know platforms or resources where you can find salespersons who will be ready to get only a commission on a closed deal without hiring.

Hey Julia, why not sell internationally from wherever you and your team are? Most folks are now used to working and buying async.

Generally speaking, any sales person with even a slight track record will require a base and commission. The uncertainty around when pay during the ramp up period or even quieter months isn't enjoyable at all.

A good middle ground is to outsource your sales to a company like Magic (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/magic) who can connect you to sales folks for a flat fee of $10/hr.

Goodluck with your hiring!

@antonovna hiring a sales person on Upwork for $xx per hour is a very risky strategy for an early startup.
