@ryan - great tool suggestions!

This process has been on the forefront of my mind quite a bit lately, as I am growing my company, Canyon Oak Partners (SEO/PPC/Design/Dev) and a supporting SEO Audit software offering (its in private beta).

At this point, the most important facet I wish to grow is the sales team. My partners and I are discussing the need and pros/cons of getting an office, as we all work remote right now. We also gather at my home (I have a spare bedroom as my office and we set up around the rest of the place) a couple days a week.

Our thoughts lean toward the social energy an office brings, but I love not spending the money on an office.

Do you have any advice on managing a remote sales team?

My VP Sales manages his Team, which is now up to four people. I don't directly manage the Sales Team.
