Sales

[Nique]

So, without naming names, I'm interviewing for a sales position next week.

While I'd like to say with who, I don't want anything said here to affect my chances should I decide that I want to work here.

What I would like to know is your expierience in an outbound-only sales environment. Is there any way to suceed or be happy with these jobs without sucumbing to underhanded sales tactics or relying on your client's ingorance?

It's a lucrative sounding opportunity, but they are upfront about the burn-out rate, and what they expect (100-150 calls per day, 2 sales a day minimum)

I'm torn becuase right now all I've got in the world is a temporary job with no chance of advancment or pay increase whereas a simple change in tactics in a sales position can easily raise your income and position in a company focused on selling.

Also of note is the possibility of a lateral move into a more technical position as the company is fairly new and is expanding, if I seem otherwise competent but lack drive on the sales floor... Which to be honest I have no way of knowing becuase I have never done hard-outbound selling before.

Thoughts?
