Has anyone ever used a sales rep based off a commission or incentive? I am looking to hire someone who can help me grow in sales and marketing but I am not big enough to pay a lot. Lol Just curious how I should approach an applicant and figure out a way to make this relationship mutually beneficial.

Of course, commissioned salespeople are commonplace in service industries (landscaping, janitorial, interiorscaping, etc.).  But if you're small, you probably can't provide the volume of prospects that a salesperson can close to make it worth their while to do sales full time.  Maybe you can hire someone who can multi-task as a salesperson and do other jobs within the company as well.  Don't mean to discourage you, but think about what it takes to support a family (or even a single person) today, and how much in sales that person would have to close to make that much commission.  But if you can provide a continual stream of qualified leads and prospects for a talented salesperson to pursue, it might work for you.
