Placing productive, independent sales reps is a numbers game. Period. This fact cannot be emphasized too much.
Using a service such as RepHunter will both improve those numbers and reduce the hiring period. But you will still most likely need to communicate with several reps to place that one that will ultimately be productive.

Hi, i am in the process to open a daily deal site in Florida. My sales agent will be independent, how should i pay them? By every active deal running? What should be a reasonable commission? Should i consider a different structure or combination? I would like to keep them motivated so what about special bonuses?
I am wondering who the customer is that your sales agent is calling upon. Is it a business or and end consumer?
