Personally, I think you can do all your sales from one location to start off. It's great to send people to location, but you might not have the cash to do that. A lot of this really depends on what you are selling and for how much.

If you find people that love your product and have free time... get them selling! I would have no hard feelings if they can't sell anything. Just make sure they can clearly articulate your product so they don't harm your businesses reputation. As long as they believe they can make money and ideally they really believe in your product and they are good let them loose!

You might even consider having someone generate the leads and get the calls set up. You take over on the actual sales aspects and if you make the sale they get their commission.

Good Luck on the launch!

I do good on the phone and I can cover New York. It wouldn't hurt to have some help in L.A. and San Francisco.
