Pros
You have to put a great deal of work into become a successful advertising sales representative at Faircount. They provide excellent training... the training was thorough and effective. I went through the training with two people - one had zero sales experience, the other several years. They seemed to easily grasp the concepts and sales mantra that Faircount uses. To this day, I still apply nearly all of my training to a sales position in IT. 1. Don't take a no from someone that can't say yes. 2. The more people you speak with the more opportunities you will generate, hence more deals. 3. How to effectively mine my own leads.
Cons
There were periods where we had very difficult publications to sell ads into. The customers weren't buying and you can stuck on a project. It's an "open-office" be prepared to work with some people that should be wearing deodorant and fresh socks. The kitchen is disgusting, but I can't lay that on the company. They try to keep the place clean.
