Hello!

Thank you for your question.

As you have stated that you are starting small it does make sense to recruit student / interns. They do cost less in sum then an outsorcing partner or a regular sales employee. Also they will usually stay for around 3 month. That means that you can get more people bringing input to the table in a shorter period of time with lesser risk of choosing the wrong talent. Often start ups convert the highest performing interns into regular employees.

On the flip side it is very important to hire for character and soft skills only and train your interns quickly and effectively on how to sell (or have them trained). Though there is tons of valuable material available for free online.

I hope this has given you an alternative approach.

If you ever have any question or want to elevate your sales the next level, Im looking forward to talk to you in more detail.

Keep up the hustle!

Yours,
Max
