On top of that, they expect you to "remain indifferent" about whether or not a sale is made, because "we're promoters, not salespeople," and yet your commission depends on hitting a quota each day, and if you don't make enough sales in day, they'll grill you about what you're doing wrong. You have to memorize and regurgitate pitches for products and use techniques to build customers to their highest impulse to get them to buy whatever you're selling - it feels reaaallly scummy it's also practically impossible to make commission, as a group of us figured out by week 2, the way they set up the pay scale, despite what they'll tell you in the interview process. Meetings, workshops and conference calls consistently tried to brainwash us by repeating rhetoric like "you create your own opportunity," and "if you're not making commission you're doing something wrong" (I know this sounds paranoid and just like I was bad at my job, but more than half of us new entry level employees felt jipped and brainwashed by this company as we continued to make minimum wage for a job that required way more effort, supposedly being worth it for the "opportunity" to climb the ladder). Entry level position is attending meetings in the morning, and selling some product in a wholesale or grocery store during most days.
