Day to Day
My job is awesome because I basically create my own schedule. I can work from anywhere as long as at the end of the month I hit my numbers. Generally I start working at 8am. Answer emails, fulfill orders, jump on team conference calls and go out to see customers starting at around 10. I try to schedule 3 appointments a day, starting at 9 or 10, 12 and 3. Once my 3pm appointment is over, I go back to my desk, answer emails and place any new orders that have come in.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for professionals
Be Aggressive! Never be afraid of rejection. Sales is one of the easiest jobs to get, but hardest ones to do well. I'd advise going through a college hire program, if available to you.
