Temp Staff Services
Many companies have made the prospect of using temps attractive, so why not temporary salespeople? Temps agencies for many years have been providing telemarketing staff for years. Companies often use these telesales temp staff services for key periods throughout the year when they have a certain campaign running such as generating leads for a major organisation.his

Temp agencies can provide a short-term solution for companies requiring salespeople. Businesses like this approach as it keeps their costs down as they will only require the temps for a set period and they do not have to provide staff packages to these individuals as that is handled by the temp agency.
You can look in the Yellow Pages or try specific agencies that deal with temporary staff such as Kelly Services and Manpower which both operate across most of North America and the UK. Kelly Services even has a marketing division that offers staff for trade events, sales, telemarketing and many other sales functions.
Businesses do not use temporary sales staff often, but they provide you with a great alternative as they allow you to put numerous salespeople out there quickly with minimal training. Use them for launching new products, backlog of sales leads from a trade show or corporate event you held. Another great side-effect of this is that with the temps working for your company you will be easily to see the one with the most potential among them, so when it comes to hiring a new salesperson for your company you will have plenty to choose from which in turn cuts down on interviewing and advertising for new staff.

For me the downside is especially when starting out is that some temps require lots of training as often they have just left school and have no experience in a sales environment. You can find yourself training a batch of temps for them to only be in employment with you for say the summer holiday. So be careful with your ROI if you go forward with this strategy.
