Hey guys,first off thank for taking the time to respond...
Here's my situation,currently work in the Telecom field,have been at a large telecom co for 18 years making between 80-95k depending on how much OT I want to work,know of a couple of very successful SF agents,but have not approached them yet as they are friend of friend,so decided to explore the field and contacted a recruiter,of course she made it sound like a rainbow with a pot of gold at the end!
She described taking over an existing branch,3million book she says....
I'm not worried about the cold calling,12-14 hour days and sacrifices that are required to establish myself,I've climbed telephone poles for 18 years so hard work isn't new to me...
However all I see on forums is negative! "I'm 100k in debt now" " I was #2 in sales and didn't get my contract renewed" .....
I'm going through their approval process as we speak,to see where it leads,am I crazy for even considering leaving a 80k a year job with 18 years???
Just trying to make an educated discussion on whether to pursue or not....thanks guys
