If you don't know how to sell, or haven't had success with a telemarketing roll before, you may want to start at another company to get "your feet under you." The initial two week training has nothing to do with what you actually do on the phones. Granted there's a three month ramp-up period for new hires, but from what I saw, that doesn't matter because 60% - 70% of sales reps every single month don't hit quota. Regardless of whether or not they are a new-hire or have been with the company for 5+ years. The other 30% barely obtain quota and then have to stress for 2-3 weeks for any cancels just to learn that they missed quota and should have sold six-month contracts. The stress of having to worry about getting fired every month, while not making a living wage, with a "lack-luster" upper management team, and outrageous quotas, isn't worth it. If you're reading this, you probably think that I was one of the reps not hitting quota, but you'd be wrong. I was with the company for a little over a year and many veterans left in that time as well as many new-hires fired. The culture and upper-management or should I say lack of management will have you looking elsewhere fast.
