Ask HN:Need Sales Help?

Need a sales guy? Want to create a blue print for your sales process and you’re not sure where to start? Need someone to pick up the phone to make cold calls?

I've been a salesman all my life. I am good at it and I love it.

For the past few years I’ve sold Real Estate, as the schedule allowed me to pursue other interests and the pay was good, however the pulse of the market has dipped very low. I took a day job doing sales for a local manufacturing company, and found a technical co-founder to build my startup. The startup is moving forward as planned, but we are still 4-6 weeks away from MVP -- and they’ve just reduced my hours at the day job.

I’ve cut my living expenses to be ramen-lean, however I am still running a monthly deficit and I need to generate some income. Times are tight.

So, I want to help you with your sales efforts. I can add value to your sales process via actual outbound solicitation, business development, and/or creating and refining the sales process. I am willing to work for a day rate or short term commission for proven products.

I have a blackberry, landline, fax, scanner, web-cam, and P.O. box for communication. I’m proficient in the top sales apps (Basecamp, Highrise, Salesforce, Act). I listen. I take thorough notes on each lead conversation. I like to laugh with my leads and potential clients. I am respectful, persistent, and I’m not scared to pick up the phone. I’m familiar with tech and know enough (and I’m a quick study) to be able to articulate what must be conveyed for the initial segments of the sales process.

I am currently available 7 days a week Pacific Standard Time, but am willing to accommodate other time-zones as well.

I am posting on HN because I think this community appreciates hard work, and I believe readers of this forum may benefit from my services.

Thanks for your consideration, I am eager to roll up my sleeves for you!
