A new sales career with LogoNation can be a great learning experience for a recent college graduate. Here’s some testimony from one of LogoNation’s top performing young sales reps:

I finished college in 2012, and have really enjoyed my new job with LogoNation. I like getting out and meeting people – I’m not a desk job person. I really believe in the product I’m selling. I enjoy traveling across the state, seeing things I’d never seen before, even though I have lived here my entire life, and meeting people like mayors and Chamber executives I would not meet otherwise.

In this job it is important to be very organized, and I am naturally organized. You have to be knowledgeable for people to believe in you. You also need to have the gift of gab so you can lead the conversation and hold your ground. Let people know you are genuinely interested in them and their business – you cannot come across as a salesperson. Know your sales pitch so your attitude and posture come across naturally in the conversation – not as a typical sales pitch spouting off facts and making points.

For recent college grads considering a sales job like this, they need to understand what they’re getting into. Sales is not easy. You have to give 100 percent all the time. Some of this stuff they don’t teach you in school. You learn from interactions and sometimes falling on your face. Come in with a good attitude – be ready for it.

This isn’t for the faint of heart – you need a tough skin. People think my job is easy because I’m selling t-shirts. Sometimes I walk through the door and people put their hand in my face. But you have to get your foot in the door and have a conversation to get things going.

I like that LogoNation is not owned by some hoity-toity people sitting in big offices. I like that it is a family owned business. It feels good to work for a business that actually cares about their people. That helps me get up and go to work each day. I like working for people I can call – they will address my questions and concerns themselves.

I’m not in one place too long – I like the opportunities to control how much money I make. They offer great incentives, much better than retail chains for example.

I want to do this for as long as these people put up with me. If you’re genuinely good with this job, your income is unlimited. You don’t have a boss breathing down your neck. I work for good people.
