Hey I'm SWSSMSS, I've lurked the forum for a while after reading TMF a few years back but I've run into some problems, and I feel like you guys would be the best to ask...
I'm in my last semester of college for a computing and informatics degree, and I've been working at a marketing startup for the past year now.
Currently, I'm doing sales and it's completely commission based. The problem is I'm struggling HARD. I'v had maybe 2-3 sales out of the ~3-4,000+ people I've cold called. I'm trying to decide if I should quit and try something else or stick with it.
Reasons to stay:
Reasons to quit:
I'd hate to quit on something right before something falls into place and it all works out, but I need some money right now.
Could you guys give me some advice
Thanks

Reasons to stay:
- I have a goal of making $1,000,000 by 2020 that included making money from the sales and eventually learning how everything works and branching off.
- It's a startup and I'm one of the only salespeople working right now, and if we hire more interns, they'll work under me and I'll get percentages of what they do.
- It's sales and sales skills are necessary for everyday life and for most entrepreneurial endeavors
- It's 100% commision-based sales and I'm my own boss.
- There's subscriptions included with most packages that I will get paid for, so even if I don't make a sale, I'll still be getting monthly payments.
Reasons to quit:
- I have no more money.
- I'm sharing a car with my dad because mine broke down, and we don't have money to fix it.
- I'm still struggling HARD with sales.
I'd hate to quit on something right before something falls into place and it all works out, but I need some money right now.
