How do I get a sales job with little experience?
I'm considering getting a job over the summer, while I'm out of school. I want to do something sales related involving door to door or telemarketing.
How do I get the employer to take me seriously? What can I offer that they cannot refuse? Work for free? Commission only?
To any fastlaners that hire sales guys, what would make you hire me?
Looking at the job offers, the requirements aren't that tough. Customer and sales experience is only "preferred". I know some things about selling and I'm not bad with people either, but I don't have much experience. Another thing to note is that the only education requirement is a high school dimploma. I don't have that yet, lol, but my point is that college is not necessary.
Instead of getting a sales job, I could also sell something of my own door to door. Haven't really thought about that too much, but I think the job would be better.
Thank you to everyone on the forum!
