I'm currently bootstrapping my startup with what I can save from my day job. The biggest business related expense I have is my sales force, a sales outsourcing service that over promised and under-delivered. They claimed to be a full service sales outsourcing solution, but have amounted to nothing more than a half-assed lead generation service. My concept is great- it's a product and a service, margins are hyooge, interest is high, but there don't seem to be any closers in the company I hired. What's the next best approach short of paying 7k/month (which I can't afford) to hire a real sales outsourcing service? I've tried commission-only sales reps off of CL but they all jerk around because they're not getting a base pay and lose interest within a few days. Maybe I should break down and pay one of them hourly+commission? I've also tried selling it myself, which I'm still doing with the leads I get from the SoS, but like I said I have a day job and can't sneak away to make calls very often. Nobody's funding, so that's not really an option (though I am pursuing it on the side on the off chance that I get a bite). HALP!?!?!? Thoughts anyone?? I'm becoming increasingly frustrated as I continue to accrue business related expenses, yet have no supporting stream of revenue, save the day job.

I'm particularly interested in data with contact information on a company or individual level. So fields such as contact name, contact title, contact email, contact phone number, company name, address, phone number, plan submission email address, etc. This seems to be particularly difficult (yet useful) information to find without having to pay $ to obtain.
