Direct Sales Representative

May - August 2019 • Riverside, CA

What I liked

Meeting new people all day long. Chatting it up with the neighbors. Gaining valuable skills.

What I wish was different

I would rather have sold elsewhere.

Advice

Sales are hard, but ultimately the more doors you knock the more sales you can get. So when you're tired, annoyed, angry, sad, whatever, just keep knocking. Also, try to laugh (chuckle) throughout your pitch it makes it more lively and generally makes you happier throughout the day too.

What I wish was different

Sales Rep

May - August 2019 • Houston, TX

What I liked

I liked the competitiveness of having to preform to make money. The job was purely commission so I had to work my hardest to make money.

What I wish was different

I wish I would of started better and worked harder before I went out to sell. I had a great 2nd half of summer. However the 1st half wasn’t as successful.

Advice

This job isn’t for everyone, however if you want to make a lot of money in 3 months and pay for school, your car, and have an actual savings account. Then this job is for you. If you decide to do this my piece of advice with that would be just to work as hard as you can for 3 months. You can relax after.
