Terminix Sales Representative

May 2017 • Denver, CO

What I liked

This is a commission based door-to-door sales job. I like the fact that it was commission based because I controlled how much money I would make by how hard I worked. It teaches you discipline, how to work independently, and most importantly, people skills. You learn how to talk to different types of people and how the sale cycle works. I have gained a great amount of confidence through doing it and know it will be very beneficial to me getting a job even though my major has nothing to do with sales. On top of all that I made enough money In 3 months to pay for a car, all upfront. If you work hard you won't find better money anywhere and the connections you make beyond that are priceless. I got to live in Denver Colorado for free basically and got paid to do so. Going to LA next summer, what more could I ask for?

What I wish was different

I wish we had a little better management, but that's it. The job itself is very hard but there isn't much you can change about that except your attitude towards it.

Advice

It's going to be difficult but very worth it in the end. If you're trying to get some good real-world experience and make some very good money while doing it this is for you. contact me at churchka15@students.ecu.edu if interested or wanting to know more
