Idea validation - What do you think of a network of sales ?
Hi guys,
I am a maker of different products and I realise how hard it is to sell a product once it is done.
What do you think of a website where you we could hire sales people ? Something like Uber but for selling stuff.
I wonder if it is really feasible and if it would be intereting, what do you think ?
It's plain simple affiliate marketing.
Lot of affiliate platforms out there.
Also, I am involved in the building of a platform where companies could complete all their "marketing or sales" requirements.
Hi Mickael,
I can't validate your idea but I can give you my opinion, for what it's worth.
I might be wrong, but your idea sounds like the sales version of a marketing agency? Someone needs sales, they go to your website and hire the services of your sales personnel.
I think it would be tough to manage this process. Sales people require extensive training in some cases. So if your product is anyway complication, you might need to pay for the sales person for a few months before they even start selling.
I hope this helps.
As a maker, you might be interested in my product Budibase - https://www.budibase.com/. It's not launched yet, but it might be able to help you down the line (speed up dev, hosting, app management). Signup and I'll hit you up when we launch.

I think this is NOT idea validation. Asking random people on IH about a hypothetical will never validate anything.
