What I liked

Experience in talking with strangers and references. Learning to sell a product with detail and clarity.

What I wish was different

The pay is 100% commission. This wasn't an option on the survey but this is something people should know. Learn to have a tough mental game. Learn how to ask people for things in a respectful matter.

District Sales Manager

October 2016 • Boston, MA

What I liked

The pay was amazing compared to other college jobs. I was a little skeptical at first but I ended up earnig more than projected. I also learned valuable business skills that I am so grateful for. I have used them consistently in other facets of my life since starting the position. I have been able to start my own business and land other job opportunities. I attribute this to the things I learned with Vantage Marketing.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have taken more of my colleagues out there with me. It would have helped them greatly.

Advice

Work hard and give it your all. Study the material they give you. It will help not only on the job but for the rest of your life.

Terminix Sales Representative

May 2017 • Denver, CO

What I liked

This is a commission based door-to-door sales job. I like the fact that it was commission based because I controlled how much money I would make by how hard I worked. It teaches you discipline, how to work independently, and most importantly, people skills. You learn how to talk to different types of people and how the sale cycle works. I have gained a great amount of confidence through doing it and know it will be very beneficial to me getting a job even though my major has nothing to do with sales. On top of all that I made enough money In 3 months to pay for a car, all upfront. If you work hard you won't find better money anywhere and the connections you make beyond that are priceless. I got to live in Denver Colorado for free basically and got paid to do so. Going to LA next summer, what more could I ask for?

What I wish was different

I wish we had a little better management, but that's it. The job itself is very hard but there isn't much you can change about that except your attitude towards it.

Advice

It's going to be difficult but very worth it in the end. If you're trying to get some good real-world experience and make some very good money while doing it this is for you. contact me at churchka15@students.ecu.edu if interested or wanting to know more

It was a good opportunity to make a lot of money in a short amount of time to get ready for school.

What I wish was different

Put it in a little bit more work each day so that I could’ve made a little bit more money before school started.
