Lol. I had someone in one of the FB groups I'm part of literally having to beg people to take a sales job with 60k a year base salary plus benefits and commission here in north Texas. It's basically glorified secretarial work.

Just saying, the work is definitely out there, but if you don't know how to network or go for it ****'s just gonna pass you by.

I guess you missed the words "base salary" in your rush to snarksville.

Did they use "rock star" in the job description?

No, you literally just call leads and book appointments for whoever the marketing company's clients are (financial advisors, real estate agents, whatever). Lead qualification is a hot business. Agencies pay top dollar for people willing to get trained to facilitate that part of the sales process, because they can't outsource it effectively.

My point is is I don't get why you bitch and moan about making 15K a year when you could literally do a fraction of the work hours/labor wise and probably net somewhere around 4 to 5 times that sitting on your ass in a coffee shop after class.

If you have to advertise on Facebook then it's not paying you enough to raise a family.

To be fair, telemarketing is a lot more work than doing jack **** at the Dollar Store.

And probably more degrading than selling crack to your relatives on Thanksgiving when they don't even want crack.

You sound like the people who come into my work to ask if I'll invest in their sales scam. The "you wont work more than couple hours a day" is a dead giveaway.

Does it cost you money to join Facebook groups and interact with communities, or are you so busy doing drugs that you can't be bothered? Come on. This is basic ****. You've just never bothered looking and you have a ****ty defeatist attitude.

Lol have you ever actually invested in anything? Everyone is in sales whether they want to acknowledge it or not. If you could trade 6 to 8 hours a day for 100K+ a year instead of 15K and not have to go into a corporate office to make it, that's a helluva better deal than what he's got going on right now.
