Congratulations! There are very few designers who have any sort of sales
experience, or want to develop it. :)

In order of preference:

Find your local agent association,(there is one, ya may just have to dig it
out) and give a demo.

 Some of the folks who call on agents are representitives of Bodyshops,
glass companies, Boardup services, remodelers, rental car agencies, flood
and water damage repair specialists, and anybody who does work for insurance
companies post claim.

The tough part is finding a sales representitive who understands the web,
your product and can use computers.

#1 sales tip

sell the office manager.
she is the only person in the organization who Knows where everything is.
she is the person most likely to end up using your service.
