Sales Representative

What I liked

I worked with great people and learned about presenting myself to people. I learned how to make a deal, negotiate, and solidify to increase our long term customer base.

What I wish was different

That I had more facts before entering into the job but it is really a job that you learn from experience in and nothing can really prepare you for it.

Advice

If you want to go into any kind of sales, practice, practice, practice with someone who knows the trade and is honest enough to help you improve.

Sales rep/ independant contractor

May - August 2018 • St. Louis, MO

What I liked

I liked that it provided the opportunity for financial freedom. I'm a really social person and I really liked that I got to talk to people of all walks of life. I liked the excercise that it gave me. I liked working on a team. I liked that I was in charge of how many hrs I wanted to work.

What I wish was different

I wish people weren't so mean. But it's all part of the job

Advice

This job is not for the faint of heart! You don't have to be a good salesman to be successful! It's all about finding a company that will give you a good commission, rent bonus, and upfront money. Don't settle for a commission that is any less than 40%. They will give you anything do let them hassle you over. They make tons of money off their reps so don't worry about it. Overall a good positive manager who is willing to drop anything to help you out is everything.
