There's more to commision sales than telemarketing and if you're going to be making any good money chances are you'll be dealing with very savy consumers... er well sometimes.

Telemarketing is not sales. Telemarketing is like spam. Commissions sales is pretty much cold-calling qualified prospects that are more likely to buy, rather than telemarketing where you call everyone. I hate cold-calling and telemarketing.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Isn't telemarketing more those individuals that call random people to make them potential "qualified prospects"?
Or to do surveys, etc.?

If I had a choice, I'd prefer cold-calling cuz these people are in a higher market to purchase.

Having taken and lead so much sales training, sales is so many different things.

i was just using telemarketing as an example.
The best mentality in retail sales is that "there's a sucker born every minute"you'll make alot of money if you stick with that.
what i'm also implying is that as consumers we believe what we hear most of the time?
ever get sucked into buying something you don't need?the demand for quality in today's market has increased but people's efforts to research quality hasn't.

Retail sales is EASY! -- The customers come to you! -- All you have to do is know your product/service, understand and read buying signals well and provided excellent customer service and you will do well.

I used to manage a London Drugs computer department! -- Damn did I hate Christmas rush.
