I don't know if going the OSS route would help -- in fact I significantly doubt it. What kind of a sales team do you have? That's more important than your tech, a good salesman can sell junk.. a technology guy might not be able to sell the best piece of tech out there for a penny because you just don't know how.

Do you have someone who can do cold calls? If you're after the home consumer do you have someone that can go door to door? It's even viable in today's age. What have you done for local advertising? Once you start getting some customers it's a lot easier to get more.

Remember, you can always change your business model. Do what's right for now right now and adapt for the future to do what you really want to do.
