Vantaggi
I started at IQPC Exchange in Delegate Sales after working in restaurants for a few years. I never thought I’d get into sales, but I was looking for a new opportunity. The corporate/office environment was a welcome change to the long hours and late nights I was used to. That being said, the transition wasn’t easy. Training is intense- but when I think back to my first day on the phones I realized how far I’d come. I will say no one is going to hold your hand, however, if you are looking to improve, the resources are available to those who seek them out. I spent countless hours with my manager and my coworkers doing tape training, practicing my pitch, crafting emails…. Etc. I learned so much in my first 6 months! In addition to the professional training, I also made a lot of friends- between happy hours, quarterly activities and people just getting together on weekends, I really expanded my professional network. Ultimately, I decided sales wasn’t for me, and moved into another role. That's not the case for everyone, however, as many of my former coworkers have moved into management roles very quickly. Bottom line, I wouldn’t be where I am today without the jump-start to my career that I received at IQPC Exchange. I recommend it to anyone who’s not afraid of a little hard work for a big reward in the long run.
