The contracting model - salespersons

[thunderlizard]

Also, contracting is about bringing in specialist skills in for specific projects, where there's a point where you say "right the job's done, we don't need you any more". If a company's selling something they don't usually plan to say "Right, we've sold enough of that, let's get rid of the salesmen now" (OK, maybe Christmas trees are an exception) - they'll either keep on selling the product, or at least shift the salesmen onto selling whatever it is that they want to sell instead.

I'll stick to the Daily Mail for inspiration.

Contractors are quite often "bumbs on seats". They are not accountable, they are there either to do a job or for political reasons. Contractors are rarely measured, however some of them are subjected to extreme levels of stress and a great deal is demanded of them. Most contractors perform to a very high level, giving clients a great deal of reassurance along the way.

Sales people are very easy to measure. Their jobs are easy to define, as are their day to day activities. There is no similarity between sales people and contractors at all.

Wise words. You know, there are occasions when I do actually think you are employed, and not vegetating on the sofa, watching Dickinson's Real Deal.
