C-Corp or Lead-Gen Only

Shared Sales Team

Part-time US sales support shared across multiple vendors. Lower cost alternative to dedicated reps, available as lead generation only or full sales with C-Corp election.

No C-Corp Required

Lead Generation Only

Sales team generates qualified leads and passes them to you. You close all sales directly. No US employee issues since reps don't close deals on your behalf.

  • Outbound prospecting calls/emails
  • Qualify leads, schedule demos
  • Hand off to you for closing
C-Corp Election Required

Full Sales Support

Sales team handles full sales cycle including closing deals. Requires C-Corp election (Form 8832) to avoid PE issues with US employees.

  • Full sales cycle management
  • Quote, negotiate, close deals
  • Requires Form 8832 filing

How Shared Sales Works

Shared sales teams work on multiple vendors' products simultaneously, providing cost-effective sales support when you don't need (or can't justify) a dedicated full-time rep.

1

Product Training Sessions

Sales reps receive 2-4 hours of training on your products, pricing, features, and ideal customer profile

2

Time Allocation

Each vendor gets allocated hours per week (e.g., 10 hours/week for $2K/month package)

3

Outbound Prospecting

Reps make calls, send emails, connect on LinkedIn to generate interest in your products

4

Lead Handoff or Deal Closing

Lead-gen mode: Qualified leads passed to you for closing
Full sales mode: Reps close deals on your behalf (C-Corp required)

Choosing Between Lead-Gen and Full Sales

Choose Lead-Gen If:

  • You want to avoid C-Corp election and associated tax complexity
  • You or your team can handle closing sales remotely
  • Your products require deep technical expertise to sell
  • You need leads but not full US sales infrastructure

Choose Full Sales If:

  • You're willing to elect C-Corp status and handle US corporate tax
  • You need US-based reps to close deals (timezone, language, credibility)
  • Your sales process is straightforward enough to delegate
  • You want to fully outsource US sales operations

Important Notes

  • Shared sales teams typically work on 3-6 vendors' products simultaneously
  • If you need more than 20 hours/week, dedicated sales becomes more cost-effective
  • Minimum 3-month commitment to allow time for training and ramp-up
  • Monthly reports include hours spent, outreach activity, leads generated, and conversion rates
