More money in sales you know

and if you become Corporate PR officer you have to sleep with the clients, I am sure there are plenty of C-level execs out there that would take a fancy to a 19 year old boy

"Below the line" sales, like telemarketing and cold calling out of the phone book are crap.The only person who makes money out of that is the owner of the business.

You need to be looking at things like Corporate Accounts Manager, Corporate Business Development Manager, Corporate Sales Manager...... all those are 60K to well over a 100K positions.

yeh after the amount of abuse i got on saturday cold calling, im not going near the phones unless i have too.

and those manager positions all come with experience which i dont have yet.

Yeah true..... it has taken me ten years to get to be a Corporate BDM.

The last 2 and a half years of running Umart were driving me up the wall, but it was a means to an end and I am glad to be out of there.

At least you are going in the right direction

[chaos]

yeh, but thinking yesturday, dont know how long i can last. just the money is not that crash hot. guy got a $3200 sale today and out of that i got $50

[Nexus9]

$50.00 out of someone elses sale is good on top of your base.

It helps if you don't look at it in the short term.

Take a longer view of your commission and add everything over a monthly or quarterly period. It adds up to much more than you think. Especially if you are getting a half decent base.

You have to ride out the less lucrative times with a view to the future, build and retain a client network, because you can use those people as a business reference when you have enough experience under your belt to start going for the big money jobs.

Don't be discouraged, stick with it

Good advice from the Prof as usual...

[chaos]

yes always good advice from nex

im hoping to get into the retail side of it, for some reason would feel more comfortable doing that.
