Pros
RESEARCH YOUR FRANCHISE! base salary, plus a commission and bonus plan which is very generous. Potential to make a solid income the first year, second year, etc (refer to my title here). Willing to hire someone with no sales experience and offer a good opportunity. Flexibility in regards to schedules and the ability to work from home. B2B sales experience specializing in the small to medium size business sector. Industry leading 3PL/brokerage company. Strong product to sell with the technology available, shipping solutions (LTL, FTL, UPS small pakage discounts, international air freight), and customer service. I really enjoy the people I work with! This includes my franchise owner, managers, sales team, and the customer service department- they are wonderful people who care about Unishippers and you as an individual.
Cons
No room for long term growth, unless you buy a franchise. Training is minimal; you have to pay attention to the industry, your colleagues, and learn as you go. Corporate training was not as helpful as I thought it would be. Base salaries will never go up. Lots of cold calling is required and it can get repetitive. The logistics industry not for the faint of heart; it is very gritty and competitive.
