Cons
Too much work for one person. You will need to have monthly reports, weekly reports and daily check-in on your numbers. You are expected to stay at 100% call coverage, 100% new account sales, 100% collection calls because the products cost too much, 100% new account installs, 100% no-returns, 100% budget which means selling customers what they don't need to meet the quotas. You are on call 24/7, and if your not in a social click you will find it hard to take more than one day off work. The company is very sales focused without formal sales training. The dynamics are not in your favor unless you enjoy doing repairs every day. Most of the repairs are learn as you go. You are expected to repair dishmachines and sale two new accounts per month. You must sales the accounts, install the accounts and service the accounts. You make 6% of every dollar sold. You may sale an item that cost $300 and for that item you will make $18.00 and you will spend two hours in the account doing your normal job and then installing the item.
