Pros
I’ve spent my fair share of time in many outside sales jobs. This isn’t any different. Sales isn’t for the lazy or for someone looking to make an easy buck. Nice thing here is I’ve got support with my manager and I have some leads to work. Appointments don’t always pan out but they are provided. Ive been in B2B sales long enough, doing my own cold calling, to know that business owners tend to lie and/or forget appointments they set. It saves time that I don’t have to cold call here and I can spend less time prospecting. Pay is great when you get up and running but it takes a couple of weeks to feel like you’re getting off the ground.
Cons
Only about half the appointments pan out and it would be nice if that number was higher. Radius can be a lot some days. Not much opportunity for advancement unless you want to stay only in sales.
