Direct sales CONSULTANT otherwise known as DSC. Full service. - Recensione dipendente - Dsc presso CosmoProf

Here are the pitfalls. I think anyone considering taking this position should be aware of the following because the company presents the position as a fun and exciting place to work. If you have the opportunity to talk to current or past DSC's about their experiences I highly recommend you so so before accepting this position. It is not for everyone. High constant stress. Company places huge pressure on the DSC's for performance, hitting and exceeding budgets and sales goals. Officially the company says you work 9 to 5. However you are expected to consult with clients from 9 to 5 and you should expect 2 to 4 hours of work to be performed at home each day to enable yourself to stay on top of things. I start my day at 8am and will work on emails, company and vendor reports and customer returns when I return home from consulting. The job is always with you and you will be thinking about what you need to get done even on your days off. The job is highly competitive. (Someone is trying to steal my color account as i speak.) But competitor distributors are not the only ones you have to worry about.... you will be in direct competition with the Cosmoprof stores. The stores phone my full service clients to buy from the store for special event sales. I lose a substantial amount of money from my clients buying at the store instead of through me. This company does NOT pay expenses. I have a vast territory and must pay my own gas, hotels, Cell phone, car maintenance and office supplies. I also spend a substantial sum making up promotional baskets for client incentives to increase sales and though this is not required it is strongly recommended. You will easily spend 5 to 10 thousand a year in expenses. Employees are treated as numbers. Even if you perform at a high level they will always want more from you. If you thrive in a stressful environment and live to work this job is for you.
