The manager's style was to initially micro-manage. I tried to get excited about the job the rejections and intense scrutiny was a bit much. The manager was a workhorse, but he was paid very well with override, so he was all-in and stayed late. End of the day for me was around 6 PM only because I packed up my computer and just left. You may average about 4 person-to-person pitches and would be fortunate to close 1 of those. Way too soon to bite the hand that fed you just last month.ĭuring the week, a customer may walk into the club or you might be able to set an appointment with a new internet lead. Many of these calls are badgering to brand new members of the club for referrals. Typical Workday started at 8:30 or earlier to make phone calls, tons of calls that the CRM requires you to make. I should have known better as there was no written offer, training pay, or proof of previous success by the former Sales Rep. After drilling me and my background, he wanted to hire me.
He verified my references and claimed that it was a $70,000 job (minimum). The interview was demanding, hard questions that were scenario based and geared toward overcoming objections. I was hired by the Sales Manager for my area in Florida.
