Default I need sales REPS! Whats the best method!

We are moving FORWARD in a HUGE WAY NOW!!! What do you all think is the best method to get people to rep our products based on our demographic? Also what is the average % to pay out to these people!! I have heard anywhere from 5-10%! But I guess it depends on who you are dealign with as a whole. This is what I have put together for a PREREQ for people that want to get on board. Let me know what you all think. This is our website we are still working on but you can see what we have designed thus far. We have about 6 more coming out in a few weeks.

We have everythign in place from accounting, crm software, online shopping cart, sales order forms, and bet of all clients who already want our products!! Things are looking good so far!!

I want to get this moving as fast as possible and am hoping you all have some suggestions to further propell us into the marketplace!! We will be attending tradeshows, events, and promoting bands, and professional skaters, surfers, etc. The objective is to get into the lime light here. Thanks in advanced for all your support and efforts here on this forum as it is a great place to educate and grow!!

Default How do I find good Sales Reps! New company with alot of possibilities!

I am trying to find good people to rep our line as it is new and fresh. We have alot of different styles and a very versatile image. This is our first run of designs and already we have placed over 10k in wholesale orders in less than 3 weeks of having everything ready to rock.

That said we are trying to find qualified people to rep our line, as it looks like the international market is picking us up first excited and motivated to launch our brand. I am trying to figure out other avenues for generating sales to get more people aware of our brand to mainstream it as much as possible.

Does anyone have any tips or leads for people to contact, it woudl be appreciated.

Im sure RODNEY knows whats up Thanks
