Business outlook
Pros
Travel to trade shows in great US cities and a weekly paycheck. Great job for a college student or under achiever.
Cons
If you have sales experience, this is not the job for you. The job consists of making 100 calls per day resulting in perhaps 2 conversations with perspective clients. You are forbidden to use any discovery or other basic sales tactics. If you are lucky enough to get a client to gain interest in this product, management will throw up every possible road block to prevent this from closing, or they will allow you to do all of the work and then pocket the commission themselves. Not to mention, the long sales cycle. Banks are typically tied in a 3-5 year contract with their existing solutions.
