My advice would be to put them on a trial period, and then decide to keep them or let them go. Don't wait 8 months to figure out they're not the right fit. Figure it out in 4 weeks, max.

Oh, and watch this before they start: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TROhlThs9qY



This depends on your sales cycle, actually. Some things (especially high tech) take significantly longer that four weeks to sell.


Only victims make excuses.

You can close a deal faster, get them to sign and pay, then work out the details.

If you spend your life saying "that's how it's done", you'll never be in the lead, you'll ALWAYS be doing what someone else has done before you.
