Those of you in Sales jobs

[NeonspeedRT]

Me personally, i'd run away if it's insurance sales. I work in the insurance industry (underwriter for a major financial & insurance company) and deal with insurance reps all the time. After a few years here I decided to see what the sales end was like. There is the potential to make somre really, really good money.

The interview was long and drawn out. There was questions about reading, writing, and math. I did great on everything. Then the clincher came. Before my next interview I had to get a list of 100 family members & friends. Then I had to get each of them to refer me to two people. These would be my initial "leads" to start out with.

I'm sorry. No amount of money will make me piss off my friends and family like that. It's one thing if I was in insurance sales and they came to me or referred people to me. I'm not going to solicit friends and family from day one. Sorry.
