Tom,
I have built a number of sales organizations in the Telecommunications space. Primarily for Cisco VAR's including my own company that I recently sold to a public company. When we sold, our primary focus was VOIP and we were about 15 million. I had 7 sales people. If you are interested in having a conversation I would be happy to discuss best practices and pass along some ideas. Let me know and I'll forward my cell number.

Since this is the -biz list, I thought I'd pick the minds of other
Asterisk-related business owners.
Here's my dilemma. I've got some great asterisk based services that my
firm can offer (mostly IVR and whatnot), but I am having a hard time
finding clientele, as my target market is rather niche (right now -
the commercial radio biz). Unfortunately, my area of expertise is
telecom, *not* sales or marketing.
How do you find good marketing/sales people? Do you post ads or find
them through others? Are they primarily commission-based or do you pay
salary? Is finding sales people for startups difficult? Is it
possible to outsource some of these functions?
I'm curious to hear input from other business owners on this list,
