I have never really been a fan of 1099 work tbh.

I have seen few folks, doing extremely well with 1099. Although it depends on person to person.

During college, I used to throw math tuition to my neighborhood kids, to buy booze and cigarettes from the money. Does that count as freelancing?

Yeah, I think so. I mean, I'm not opposed to doing it, but I still am not organized enough for 1099 haha

Its tough to 1099 a sales job since you need to cover your expenses for 3-6 months before even seeing a penny. From those I know who do it though - in the long run it can be very lucrative. You just need to survive the short term.

Which isn't the easiest to do. Never got the Flex email. Am interested to see how that's set up.

As an employer, I’d never go for a sales freelance. Ramping up a good sales person takes way too long to invest time on somebody that might leave when they’ve barely reach a good productivity/understanding of the sales approach…

The only think I’d hire a freelancer for sales related stuff will be all the asynchronous stuff such as data-based lead qualification or outbound campaigns

I haven't heard of anybody doing it, but I've seen companies popping up offering those type of roles. I'm just wondering what type of companies are hiring those people
