Advice

The biggest thing to take away is that the summer is what you make of it. You can make it as enjoyable, short, or as long as you want. Mental game is the biggest thing in sales, so you need to have a reason WHY you're doing what you do. Once you find that, it becomes easy.

Route manager

April - August 2019 • Rancho Cucamonga, CA

What I liked

Something that I loved about this commission job was that it was up to me to determine what I wanted to be paid over the summer. Along with this, it was great learning verbal and non-verbal skills that aided the sales process.

What I wish was different

Something that I wish I had done differently would be to have practiced my pitch more ahead of time. Another thing that would have helped a lot would have been to put myself on a schedule to keep focused and motivated.

Advice

Although door-to-door usually has a bad name to it, what you make through the summer is a reflection of the work ethic that you have. I think that many people begin with the mindset that it will be a ‘mindless’ job like many other minimum waged jobs but it can be possibly one of the toughest jobs they can hold. The amount of difficulty in these jobs are usually reflects through the paychecks.
