Pros

Chuck is mostly a nice guy, with a lot of sales experience and possesses a helpful training manual. You are selling sports here. Potentially lucrative commissions. Decent office in a good location.

Cons

You will face a LOT of rejection. Usually takes several months before your first sale. Not an easy sell...especially with such a quiet office. 2/3 of the desks are empty...there's a reason. Senior sales guys frequently talking about people they think will quit, which makes for a negative atmosphere. Shady+Deceptive practices. Manager tells you to do one thing, then contradicts himself.

Total Sports Publications welcomes feedback from current and former employees in an effort to constantly improve or business and culture. On average new sales people make their first sale between weeks 4-6. that said, we do not consider the time to someones first sale as barometer to future success and have plenty of great sales people that would agree. TSP prides it's self on being a positive and transparent organization and comments to the contrary are inaccurate. There is always room for improvement and our work is never done. Thank you for your comments.

Cold Cut Inside Sales Environment

Pros

Fun atmosphere with a young culture.

Cons

- Very cold cut inside sales environment where you better be on the phone for 9-10 hours a day. - Print advertising is dead, so very hard to convince a potential customer to spend a lot of money on a dying breed of advertising. - Base pay is very low, and working on a draw to gain commission makes it very hard to actually achieve commission! - Making 150+ phone calls a day - EVERY day of the week - Turnover is extremely high

Thank you for your insightful comments. Please be advised that Print Advertising is not dead, and is actually doing rather well, especially in the sports marketing space. We have recently increased our base pay and added a number of new aspects to our compensation structure in order to recruit and retain great people. We do understand that not everyone can make a six figure income, in fact about 95% of people won't. However as a percentage we actually do have a track record of developing people that make well above average incomes that go well beyond the low six figures. Development in professional sales takes time, passion and a lot of effort.

Pros

None at all. There is nothing good about this company.

Cons

Absolutely terrible terrible job. Boss is horrible. Gives you leads that have been called countless times before. Absolutely dead company. Boss will act like he wants you to succeed then will fire you the next day. There is absolutely no job security. The “senior” guys are just as bad. Could care less wether or not you succeed or fail. There is no “friendly competition” at all. Do not waste your time with this company or the boss. You have about a 10% chance of making it longer than 3 months. Joke of a company. Joke of a job. More importantly joke of a boss.
