| Abstract/Contents: | Describes the personal experience of Craig Zellers, a superintendent who became an irrigation and drainage systems sales professional. Includes possible advantages and disadvantages of becoming a salesman. States that "many believe that all salesmen are paid on a commission-only basis and must sell round the clock to put food on the table." Also states that as a salesman there is "no turf to worry about 24 hours per day"; "no workers to worry about"; and "flexibility to create your own schedule and sales plan." Discusses the possible drawbacks with a career in sales, stating that "life on the road, missed appointments and lost sales can take a toll on the most confident sales professional." Briefly profiles Bill Newman, superintendent-turned-salesman who returned to being a superintendent. Concludes that "if [someone is] considering a career change into sales, yet [has] reservations, [they should] seek out a position that will be the best fit for [them]...selling a high-demand product that [they] will enjoy promoting are necessary ingredients for a successful and enjoyable career in sales." |
