$15/hr + $200 commission for each client that I bring in. The average sales rep brings in 1 client per day. And there is room for growth in this gig.

Currently, I work 50-60 hours per day at shitlaw and I deal w terrible, terrible people.

I'm only 27-29 years old.

Thoughts?

You can be trained and conditioned to do all of those things. But if you are already doing all of those things in your day to day life (but calling them something else), the training only has limited utility. Everything is sales. If you don't, you will hit a ceiling and be wasting your time. Some people are closers. Others are not. If you have any doubt that you are a closer, my guess is you are not.

You close with women, in social situations, when convincing a cop not to write you a ticket... You probably close even in shitlaw. If you can't close now, you probably will never be able to close consistently. Some of it is luck. Some people even make their own luck.

I was in sales. I sold enterprise CRM. Carried a $750k quota I never met. I made 50 to 100 cold calls a day. Gave about three product demos a day. And did my follow ups. I usually worked from 8 am to 7 pm every day of the week, except weekends. I lasted two years. I am not a closer.

50 to 100 cold calls is very little ... I made 200+ per day while working for an SEO company 7am-4pm ... You probably don't sound confident on the phone or you were too slow to respond to a prospect's objections.

Lol are you in Banglore or something. IDK what my problem was. Mostly I didn't believe in the product/the company. I felt bad when I closed a deal because I just fucked someone over really hard and I knew the implementation team would come knocking on my door after I sold vaporware. Glad that shit is over. Anyway, the job you are considering sounds bad. Just get law firm clients instead.

Why should you feel bad that you fucked over a prospect? Your job is to sell; their job is to buy. You did your job better than them. If they had the chance to fuck over the salesman on the deal, you don't think they'd do it? Of course they will. If the prospect feels like they got screwed, they're idiots. The prospect has absolute control. They can leave, hang up, any time.

And why is the job in the OP bad?

If you run the #s it's about a $10,000 difference, if all your assumptions remain true. And I'm guessing you're overly optimistic in at least some places (or what's being represented to you about # of commissions on average is somewhat overly optimistic)

If you're good at sales take a look at Primerica.

It's a MLM but one of the more legit ones and you sell insurance and financial products to losers/old people.

Also lYou either have a sales personality or you don't. A lot of that is dealing with people - not just in a "networking" capacity, but actually getting people to sign on the dotted line -- and rainmaking.

Lawyers go into sales because they think they can game the "metrics" portion of it - make X number of cold calls in a given day to potential clients (or whatever), and some of these will land. Grunt work is a lot of it, but there are a lot of hardworking salesmen who can't crack $100k/year.

In my experience, lawyers are usually very good at selling to existing clients, or to potential clients that someone else identified. They are terrible at identifying the potential clients in the first place. If this sales company just wants you to go to their database of existing and former and potential clients and sell to them, you could make $.

But if you need to actually go out and rainmake - you could be in a world of pain if you don't have a pre-existing network set up that you can tap into.

Also look at positioning - does the company have a strong enough industry name that people will listen to its sales reps, i.e. can a bum off the street read a basic script and still close deals based on the strength of the company and product?

Also, is the base salary a true base, or is it a "draw" that you have to pay back from commissions? If it's the latter - that's a very easy way to go broke while you continue to fish for the great white whale.

the person telling you about this opportunity is lying to you. the hours will be worse and the pay even shittier, unless you happen to be insanely talented. most places that hire low-level sales people try to lure as many in with promises of high income potential and then weed out all the mediocre performers(the vast majority).

all top sales bros start off like this. you expect a company to pay you top dollar in a high-ranking position simply b/c of your degree and experience? LJL bro. sell or be sold.
