"I love that it's a different challenge every day depending on the people you are dealing with. I enjoy dealing with people period. I learn something new every day while working in this type of environment. I did not enjoy just commission or the feeling of fighting for my paycheck every month. The only other thing I didn't enjoy is the hours."

"I have been in contractor sales for the last 6 years. I really enjoy the business to business relationships. I work with a lot of great people, both contractors and team members alike. I enjoy selling the materials as much as monitoring progress along the way. I am often disappointed by the feedback I receive about our delivery service. I work hard to build and maintain relationships and need a team that shares that same passion."

"Love the job, because of the independence, but I saw too many good people get canned for having a bad season."

"I love the ability to make more revenue in my position. I'm not just stuck with only an hourly rate, I have the potential to make a lot more with commission. Sometimes the pressure of being a sales representative can be a little bit overwhelming. But in the end, it's worth it."

"I like to be in control of your own success. The ability to work hard and receive good compensation and recognition."

"I love meeting new people and having new relationships with people. Being honest and having put the customer first is priority to me. The things that I didn't like was the fact that you could be out real late at night trying to make a sale and driving long distances."

"Sales is not for anyone. You have to constantly have the drive and persistence to be successful. Some hate that some like me thrive. I fully enjoy the flexibility of sales as it accommodates my needs. Having a positive outlook on situations and remaining energetic is also key to be a success."

"I love working with people and interacting and building relationships, showing and watching brands grow as well as providing proof on profits! There are ins and outs about most jobs, sales isn't one of them! I enjoy working with as many different people as possible, it is always a good thing to connect."
