Hello, I would like to sell websites solutions for hair salon. I thought about rent a telemarketer paid on commission basis but it seems it is difficult to get them. Where can i find telemarketers on comission ? I thought about renting a hairdressing forum poster ? Of course i can place ads in local newspapers but it seems expensive. What advices will you give me ? I putted my little hai websites portfolio here: www.webdeparis.com Regards Frank (Paris)
The easiest thing to do is just pick up the phone and call salons. Get a list off your local yellow pages and just call. If there's 200 salons in paris you're likely to get about 6 deals out of cold calling. Use those 6 deals to get more clients and so on. Any business takes work, just get out there and start dialing!
Thanks a lot for your advice. If i have no time to deal with hair salon, who can do it for me ? A local telemarketer ? A student marketer ? Will they accept to get paid by commission ? How to tell a telemarketer that he will be paid commissioned ? Regards Frank
Yeah totally - hire someone for commission or like $8/hour to sit down and start making calls. A pro could make about 200 calls/day. Make sure you develop a good script that works.
Good God please don't hire someone , you'll most likely end up with someone that butchers the French language and doesn't know jack about the web . First off you need a better portfolio , second off make the call yourself and only talk with the manager/owner and since Paris isn't the world get you feet on your back and also talk to you local saloon owners . A good talk and a firm handshake >>>>>>>> any call , conference or other stuff . Also for God's sake make business plan first offer them all they need SEO and hosting included . Think before you act and you'll end up with much more then you think , when you invent a market you're dominating it via monopoly Veterans of the web know what I'm talking about .
What about making a website to advertise your design services, then posting out business cards to salons?
