Q

How can I find a good sales person for my company when we can't afford to pay them until we start getting sales?

Great sales people eat what they kill. You shouldn’t have to pay them – they should live of commissions. To hire this type of person you need to pitch the vision and the opportunity, and you need to be generous in the commissions – maybe 100% of the profits initially to prime the pump.
