Hey guys,
We will be in Prague for a few days and wanted to take my girl on a nice dinner one night at a nice restaurant, particularly for Czech food - what do yall recommend?
Hey yall,
I am looking to change careers soon, and sales is among the routes I am considering. I am currently a flight attendant for a major airline, and while the job is fun, I am not too keen on the constant layovers and being away from home, as I do want to start a family in the future. The job has given me a lot, such as the opportunity to travel the world, but most of all it gave me a sense of patience and dealing with bs, and also turned me from an introvert to a people person. I do not have a degree, but will graduate with a history degree in December (I know, not really the best).
My job doesn't pay a lot, I will make around 70,000 this year (with a fair bit of overtime and weekends) and have been here for over three years. However it is unionized and has good benefits, nice 401k match, insurance, and free flights so I would be giving up a lot leaving this position.
I don't have any sales experience. Although I do "sell" credit cards (you know, the annoying annoucements we do at the end of a flight?) I will say, I get a rush every time I get someone approved, and I have been enjoying trying to chat people up on flights and "sell" them the card, tweaking my announcements to see what works best, etc.
I would like to get into sales but the turnover rate is a bit scary, and was wondering - how bad is it really? I understand it's stressful, commission based, quota etc.
I have heard many people say "you either got it or you don't", which kind of makes sense but is the position "trainable" or if I am a slow starter will I just be fired immediately for a couple of bad quarters?
As an entry level candidate, would my history degree and 3+ years of flight attendant experience be looked upon favorably? What kind of sales positions should I be looking for starting out?
I am based in Philadelphia and would like to stay in the city or the surrounding area (or work remotely). What is the market like in this city? I am particularly interested in pharma sales or medical devices, but I understand those are not entry level positions.
Thank you!
