Thinking About Starting A Biz? Try A Sales Job


The Wall Street Journal:

Some people may want to test the waters of entrepreneurship before jumping in.

Here’s one way: Being an independent-sales rep, even selling door-to-door, for companies that sell textbooks or Tupperware. Or cutlery.

The experience can be especially useful for would-be entrepreneurs, as it requires skills such as networking, door-knocking, persuasion and product demonstrations.

It can also teach someone how much perseverance they have.

“You see how much rejection you can take and how you handle it with this type of job,” says Derek Kernus, a soon-to-be college junior who has sold more than $32,000 worth of knives for Cutco this summer.

“It’s a skill for life because people aren’t going to say yes all the time. You need to try and come back with something different to try and get a yes.”
