Vivint

Sales Rep

May - July 2019 • Indianapolis, IN

What I liked

I liked the experience of doing something completely different and really pushing myself outside of my comfort zone. It was a door to door sales job which was something I had never done before. It gave me a lot of experience of talking with people and learning basic sales techniques.

What I wish was different

While there was a part of me that enjoyed it being door to door, there was also a part of me that hated it. Door to door sales is very hard in today's society and it often lead to people yelling at me and slamming the door in my face.

Advice

Make sure you really want it. If you don't you will find your quitting halfway through like I did.
