They just need to place a £30 advert in the local paper for an advertsing sales person/publishing

Pay them comm only and get them to call every business in the area, charging them only £99 a year for a listing.

I've calculated that if you got a 10% take up, the site using this revenue stream alone could generate 150k, 50% to the sales rep and £75k for the site owner.

Costs would obviously be around 5k, maybe give the sales person £100 a week and 35% comm, would get you a more stable salespeson, not always better, and would make you even more money with the percentage being lower.
Yes - all very doable, perhaps I priced it a little low

Ideas are one thing and actually doing things is another so in a case like this it could be worth linking it as a rev-share , but again thats where the fun starts with renting domain names and would warn anyone doing it to get a decent (not just some bandit who doesnt know what a domain is) solicitor and a domainer to form up a contract.

Edit: above you did mention rental figures scare people off, but so does any price. I agree a 'let' or a sale is worth something, however I would hold out for something decent rather than let things go for the first offers in.
