This is actually classic crowdsourcing. We find different sales experts in the crowd and place them in small and medium organization to help them do more sales.


It's actually just outsourcing - but I see that crowdsourcing is the buzzword of the year so I understand why you'd use it. I'd prefer the outsourcing approach with one or 2 good guys who know my product over a factory style team any day!


The difference is that people who work with us are actually contractors who pick their own hours and work from home. They can come and go as they please but we still ensure quality using our technology and processes.


that sounds great - but it still doesnt make it crowdsourcing in the truest sense of the word. I dont care where the guys are sitting - I care that they produce good leads!


Actually, it sounds more like outsourcing unless my 20hrs is coming from 20 different people in the crowd. Is it?
