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.
