Door to door sales

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

-They actually do teach you some sales techniques. Sleazy, but real.

Cons

-They go out of their way to avoid telling prospective employees that it is door to door sales. -They waste hours every morning "training" new sales techniques and playing white board games similar to an elementary school teacher distracting their students. During these hours it is expected that everyone be wearing full professional attire despite changing before you ever see a customer. -Lots of time spent traveling all around the state to canvas different areas. -No base salary or any other benefits. If you get a run of bad luck you simply do not get paid that week. -Little customer interaction to practice the few techniques you will learn. You will most likely spend six hours to have three real conversations with a customer. -Terrible work/life balance. While times are not strict, you are expected to get to the office around 8 a.m. and often do not leave until 8 or 9 p.m. On top of this, there is extra work on weekends and some evenings disguised as get-togethers, as well as a book club that just tricks employees to read sales manuals. -While you might be expected to be at the office by 8 a.m. or 9 a.m, you will not start talking to customers until 1 p.m. 4-5 hours of your day are wasted on pep talks and congratulatory speeches every morning. -There is an opportunity to make money, but with the insane hours that are expected, you will end up only making slightly over minimum wage. -While there is quick advancement up the corporate food chain, you will never be anything but a door to door salesperson. The only two people in the office who did not pound pavement are the HR person and the receptionist. -Corporate culture focuses on pitting sales people against each other to get them to put in extra time and work harder. It is also easier to accept $9 an hour if you know you did better than someone else if the office. -Locker room like office chants. Overview: This job expects a lot, gives little, wastes time, and has an annoying atmosphere.

Pros

At least it is not an unpaid job and learn a little bit of thing..

Cons

1) Training - I quit this job after a month. Reason why is I still kind of think I am learning something at least at the very beginning, but after the second week, the things they are teaching are actually the same thing. - The company puts very strong emphasis on theories, for example, law of averages and a research findings claimed to be found by Havard Business School, which I can never find such thing through Google. People are brainwashed by theories and ineffective selling strategies, which lead to unproductiveness and unstable salary 2) Culture - I am not saying people are not nice, but some rituals in the company is weird and makes me slightly uncomfortable. 3) Paid - The paid is really bad because it is 100% based upon commission. If you can't sell, you are basically paying yourself for this job FYI, this is the reason I decide to quit 4) Company strategy - Door to door selling itself is pretty much one of the dumbest selling you can ever have. They keep saying to have 3-5 loops a day to waste your time knocking doors six hours a day - Managers don't know how to manage a company well
