Find the right company
When getting into sales, many rookies make the mistake of working for companies that pay high commission percentages but for a relatively inexpensive product. This is why choosing a company that sells a "high-ticket" product or service is essential.
Thesehigh-ticket productsare usually in the range of thousands to tens of thousands in price, including automobiles, software, medical procedures and consulting services. This is where the real money is and where just a small appointment-setting position canyield significant amounts of commissionand soar to 6 figures.
But why stop there? With the advancement of technology and the changing office environments post-2020,finding a remote jobis easier now than ever before. You can reach that 100k salary working from your home.
Get hired on the spot with this trick
To the anxiousnew grad, this all may seem too good to be true. Though finding a 6 figure remote job in appointment setting is relatively easy, you need to be good at sales to be hired. So here you have two options: One, you could grind at a low-paying sales job until you have enough experience on your resume for years, or you could use this trick to give the company you are applying for an offer they CAN'T refuse! The trick is to show up to your interview with three potential clients under your belt who are ready to schedule a demo with the sales team.
Not only will you prove you can sell their product, but you will also have made them some business before they even hired you. To accomplish this, research your company closely and find ideal clients for their product through Google and social media.
Once you find these clients, cold call or message them asking if they would be interested in a demonstration with the sales team. This could take some work, but remember you don't have to sell the product to these potential clients, just a meeting with the sales team. Reach out to as many people as possible, and once you have three interested people, schedule your interview with the company. With this trick, you have an extremely high chance of being hired on the spot right out of college.
