Just wondering what some of you are selling as a profession.
How has it been, so far? Pros and Cons....

I am a mortgage broker.
Upside the money and the hours, downsize people read an article in the paper or on the internet and now they think they are an expert.
A little information is a dangerous thing

Was a pharmaceutical salesman. Pros, selling even in bad times. Cons......can't find one at the moment. Apart from the incentives, helping sick guys really drives me......

My last full-time job was as a customer service rep at a cable company where I upsold, cross-sold and did retention.
Pros: I suppose getting commission on top of the salary would be a definite.
Cons: in the company's environment, they were more interested in numbers than quality time (two examples here: management referred to the phone reps as "bodies" and I've heard about an HR manager using the term "meat market"). Another con would be the low commission rate ($1.75 to $3.50 per upgrade - I've heard about another cable company paying $25 per sale. Overall this company would give you little respect (whether or not you're Rodney Dangerfield).
Pros: Great work environment, solid product that I completely believe in.
Cons: New competition entering the market offering cheap prices for bad products. This leaves a potential customer with a bad impression on what normally is a great product

I sell Avon Beauty Products. I work really hard at it and am doing ok so far. There are a lot of expenses to having my own small business as an Independent Avon Representative. We pay for our website, brochures, samples and sales tools.
