if you need an affiliate rep, which it sounds like you might be talking about, you need someone who is either knowledgeable and friendly, not a spammer or pushy, and an existing reputation in the business really helps. you will have to pay to send them to all the conventions, pay for their business phone and the rest. if you don't send them to the conventions, soon they'll be less well known and of less value to you.

but no matter how good your affiliate rep is or the person who is coordinating your other sales, your tour and join page are a big part of the picture. the best rep in the world isn't going to do great unless you have a tour that sells.

and of course the best-known people in the biz - especially the ones who have spent 5 or 10 years getting known in the industry - have a value of more than $3500 a month. so you will need to really weigh your options.

have you considered a part time rep to get started? that way you can afford a better person and they can continue to make their own money to supplement what you offer - as long as what they are doing isn't a conflict of interest.
