I am looking for a Chinese Sales and Marketing agent to work for my company. The salary starts at 7k RMB monthly + commission. Any idea where I could find the kind of high-quality staff I am looking for?

wouldn't trust any Chinese agent to supply sales staff - you would probably end up with people very like a regular poster here who claims to be a 'sales manager' yet seems to know next to nothing about understanding people or the proper meaning of common terms used in sales.
unless you have a person on your existing staff who knows how to conduct proper interviews, your best bet is maybe contacting your embassy.
I know mine has a section that will point me to a reliable network for doing just this, and not rely on a local agent that has not been proven to be trustworthy.
Local agents will by and large just scam you and send anyone, regardless of ability or experience, just to pocket the fee.
Better a foreign educated Chinese person than one who has never left China.
I can only advise you on what not to do, as it is a case of caveat emptor for most things in China, and hiring staff is no exception.
All i can say is 'good luck'

Try GZstuff.com classifieds or a similar website in your city. Easier to find English speakers and recommendations. I've found mine thru referrals or from similar companies.
for that salary you are only left with those who don't know what they are doing unfortunately.
I found that sales who knows what they are doing usually not working below 20000 + commission.
sad but true

...and those people are working 7 days a week, 12 hours a day no joke.
He/She might be able to reel one in if providing slightly less work hours and if they can afford that pay.
A B R O A D !

not exactly... for sales it is hard to hire a foreigner here.
and turtles are same useless as non turtles, so no difference.
There are smart people here, but they easy find a very high paid job, because smart people are always in demand

He wants Chinese employees, not foreigners.
All Chinese work long hours, but never put in a hard working hour.
