Vantaggi
You will get compensated very well in the AM role for what you do. Conceptually, selling a membership is not too difficult. You are in a competitive environment at a fitness resort, around goal-oriented, driven and fit individuals. The ability to grow fast and move to different areas of the company and relocate is a plus. Exciting new and innovative things to come. Most leads are generated for you.
Svantaggi
Be prepared to put in a lot of hours if you want to maximize your paycheck. You can work 12 hours in a day, make 50+ calls and not make a dime. But that's the high-risk, high-reward concept of sales. Dealing with ungrateful, snotty member complaints is going to be a daily headache (which cuts into your productivity as a Salesperson). There is not much of a "breakroom" so you're forced to buy food from the LifeCafe almost everyday and the employee discount on select items barely makes it justifiable (I mean c'mon, can't we at least be provided coffee and water?). Good luck trying to book a regular vacation or getting necessary time off to grieve the loss of a family member or friend. The promotional cadence is laughable. It's a random Tuesday in the middle of the month and I'm supposed to make prospects believe that this "$29 flash sale" is never going to return ever again. "Oh wait, it'll actually be back on Friday, and then Monday, and then the next day, but I have a code for you because we just want you to sign up and not actually value the investment into your health and fitness."
