Commission Only: My First Sales Job Was a Scam (That Taught Me Everything) Ep. #338
Manage episode 478210874 series 3613788
Before I understood what sales really meant, I was knocking on doors with a roll of bounty towels and a free carpet shampoo offer, trying to sell $1,800 vacuum cleaners to people who never asked for me. In this episode, the first in The Vacuum Salesman Chronicles, I take you back to 1995. I had just graduated high school, I was broke, hungry, and thrown into a commission-only sales job that I didn’t fully understand. I share what that job taught me about pricing, pressure, rejection, and the critical difference between selling to survive and selling to serve. If you’ve ever taken a job just to stay afloat, this episode is for you.
