I got a job!

[Swifty1638]

It's not a sales pitch. It's basically seeing what companies have us as their office supply distributor, and if they need a second option, we are there. It's buinesses, not homes. I personally am not a fan of sales pitching, or going door to door. But, today wasn't too bad, and it will change over the next few weeks, hopefully.

Hey, Christa worked for Micalan Group, doing IMS. I guess you got the easy job. But I went with her driving for a day. That job blows ass and it's only paid on comission, so I hope you like going to 60 doors a day. Good luck.

Yeah, not to rain on the parade, but I would be suspicious of any sales job with constant promotions or "levels" like that.

Congrats on the new job. I just heard back from Cleveland Electrical JATC about taking a test in March. So I hope I pass that and get into there school.

I'll start by saying congradulations. I'm glad you found something that you're excited about. However, I haven't heard of a profitable company that allows people to rise up so quickly in their management line. The company must either have a very high executive turnover or they're just feeding you a line. Normally, when executives are making that kind of money, they don't leave. Therefore, I don't see what kind of spots they're filling on that kind of short term basis - 15 months to get to be a marketing executive. Normally, they'd hire a marketing executive elsewhere or fill it with someone with experience in that postition. There are people who do fill that position that are internal, but it takes much longer than that to get there. You are starting out on great pay, and I'd be excited as well. Just keep your head up and be aware that it might not be what you were told.

Don't be naive, run away ASAP!

I'll just say that I thought this too was a scam. I HATE salespeople. I don't like the door-to-door aspect of things. But, I'm rather suprised at the way this company conducts itself. We represent MANY clients, quill alone is a 1billion dollar a year industry. And, it IS growing quite often! So, in terms of training, and turn-around time? Yes, there is quite the ability to move up. The lady I was with today has been with the company 5 weeks, and she's an account executive. They bring all of us in to eventually manage our own locations, because the industry is growing soo fast. That's how they are allowed to hire and interview soo many people!

Any shops on here need office supplies delivered to their doorstep, free shipping, and you only get what you need, let me know. I don't want another person making a pitch, or doing anything, if it's something that I could do for you. Just PM me. I know Chris needs stuff. Anyone else?

After you're done with that you could move into selling Cutco knives, wait i mean Vector Marketing.

Sorry to say, but this sound exactly like every other pyramid scheme "job". Are you being "hired" as an actual full-time employee or a 1099? Don't buy into their "you beat out XXX people" line, either its a made up number or the other people realized its a scam and decided to run away. Is this place asking you to pay for your training or pay anything out of pocket with promises of reimbursing you at a later date?

[DBMajik]

You don't pay for much except the gas you use running to places that don't want anything. Christa wanted me to point out atmosphere sucks balls. Road trips are the worst. She went to Green Bay and had to pay for gas for someone else's car; because she didn't have a running car at the time. You take your own car on road trips though. She got so sick of Tom's shit she left GB two days later. She even got yelled at twice for yawning at 8 am. And have fun talking to Zach with his gf's bug that goes 8 seconds in the 1320. :lol:
