salesman
Salesman finds, checks and chats with the shops, clinics, schools and POS agents you sell to. Then we hand you introductions that have already said yes.
WHATSAPP REPLY · EXAMPLE
Provisions shop · Wuse · no website
“Yes o. Come Tuesday morning, I want to see how the credit book works.”
NEW INTRODUCTION · FOR YOU
Private clinic, Garki
Medical director. Paper records. Wants a demo after month-end.
Your best customers have a shop door, not an inbox. Online sales tools can’t see them, so your reps walk. Most doors were never going to buy, and you only find out after the walk.
28%
of a rep’s week is spent actually selling

a year, per rep, just for walking, at a funded startup

Three steps. Only the last one needs you, and by then the buyer is expecting your call.
What you sell, which businesses buy it, and where. One call. No software to set up.
We find the right businesses, check they’re real, and chat with them on the app they already answer until they say yes to meeting you.
Each introduction comes with a debrief: who decides, what they need, when. Take the call, close the deal, tell us how it went.
A list of phone numbers is just more walking. Every introduction has passed four checks before it reaches you.

Two follow-ups at most, at sensible hours. A “no” is final.

A fee for each introduction you accept, with a small monthly minimum
Monthly + per yes
A monthly fee per area and category, plus a fee for each introduction you accept
Monthly + success
A monthly fee, plus a fee when an introduction becomes your customer
I sold door to door at Chowdeck and built Farmula to $1M in sales with offline retailers. Most of that walking could have been filtered from a desk. Salesman is the sales team I wish I’d had.
