Finding a business partner?

Question

I have a small business on Long Island in New York. I need a business partner who would be responsible for getting clients and obtaining payment from each clients' insurance company -- all other aspects of the business are covered. In exchange for their efforts, the partner would receive a percentage of the income the company receives. I wouldn't require experience or understanding of the market, only good speaking/phone skills, common sense and a bit of resourcefulness.

All of the work that would need to be done could arguably be done by computer and phone, although some strategies for obtaining clients would likely be more successful if implemented in person. Thus, being local to Long Island would be preferred, if not necessary.

How and where do I go about finding a business partner that would most likely match these requirements?

Answer 1

I believe you need to hire a part time Telemarketer as an employee instead of Partner.  You can still pay via commission.  Suggest you place a few advertisement specifying all the requirements of the position.  Good Luck

Answer 2

Why would you want a business partner??  It sounds like you are looking for a Sales person.  In that case, go to a headhunter.  Are you looking for this person to invest in your business?  It's not very clear what you are looking for and what type of business it is that you are in.  Not enough info to really help.
