What are the hours?
Are there any start-up costs?
Nope! All of our representatives are able to work virtually, so there is no need for any samples. They simply use their laptop or computer to walk through product options with customers online using our virtual catalog.
What if I don't have any experience?
No problem, most people start with ZERO prior experience. We provide all the training you need to succeed as a representative. The virtual training seminar is a three-day online program led by experienced professionals with decades of experience. Don't worry; these sessions are interactive, engaging, and fun. On top of that, we offer optional ongoing training sessions and conferences. We believe that one’s personal success will rarely surpass their level of personal development.
As a full-time student, is this a good fit for me?
Most of our representatives are full-time students, and our management staff understands that academics will always take priority over work. Our goal is to provide an opportunity that allows students to work flexibly around school so that they are able to develop tangible soft skills while also maintaining good academic standing. Our company’s training is respected nationally, and our endeavor is to leave students better-equipped to land their dream jobs and impact society in meaningful ways after graduation.
Many of our representatives qualify for internship credit, and we award $50,000 annually in scholarships to full-time students.
What does it take to be successful?
Successful representatives are committed, positive, and communicate frequently with their managers. This open line of communication is important because our office is filled with supportive, fun, and experienced managers who want to help you hit your goals. Our top representatives love being part of a team and building lasting relationships.
