You generally have to buy/acquire the leads from somewhere. If your target audience is generic enough, most decent organizations will be able to help you with that aspect as well.

After that, they are mostly mechanical turk. You'll give them a script and some basic info/FAQs/etc. They will generally present themselves as employees of your company.

I don't have any direct contacts in the Vegas area that can help you out though, sorry.

My contact info is in my profile. If you want to hit me up, we might be able to do a phone call and I can lay a lot of this out a little better for you (wish I had the time to type all the points I would like to make out here).

BTW, my role the last 6 or 8 years has been getting sales operations in startups off the ground from the tech perspective. IE: I generally own all the pre/post-sales functions, but as a result of that have been heavily involved in comp plans, lead-gen, etc.

What you're looking for sounds like an "inside sales" role. These are, IME, usually $60-$80K positions depending on the candidate.
