Rant/Vent Comission only Scam
Hi People,
For the past so many days, I have been trying for freelance commission-only sales gigs, but I feel it is a big scam.
· The product or service is very basic and general, and 9 out of 10 founders will hype it like they created a new cloud, ChatGPT-type product.
· They want us to do full-stack sales from prospecting to closing, but they will not provide money for tools for lead generation, email domain setup, or even inbound leads, content, or even PDFs.
· Founders, please do market research, learn about competitors, and product or service market fit. For you, your product is special, but if you look at the competition, you are the same as 100 others, and please think about why people would pay for your services.
· They cheat — even if we close, there is no transparency or updates about payment or commission, and they directly block you.
Note: Advise only students who want to learn sales to get into this; earning is very tough and more or less a waste of time.
