parkyyyy Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I've seen a lot of jobs advertised on Gumtree such as 'Data Gatherers' 'Appointment Setters' 'Sales' & 'Fundraising' mostly for Electrical companies, all offering good money with no experience needed etc etc Has anyone had any experience with any of these companies? And is there really money to be made in these jobs? Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tingtongman Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 its either a scam or the "$1-5k" is a target which you will never earn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolvesaussie Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I work in sales. We have a lot of uk back packers. I run payroll so I know how much they earn Some do make 1 - 2 k a week. Many of course only make a few hundred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine for the 5k you need to generate one sale per call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 If people could make 200k doing this job then there would be such a high demand for these jobs that they will start requiring experience. So i'm guessing you would be lucky to make 30k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I suspect it is for door knockers to convince people to switch energy providers for Electricity and/or Gas. If you are some sort of genius salesman that can convince hordes of people every day to switch then you might make a lot of money. Or you might walk around all day and not convince anyone and not make a cracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine for the 5k you need to generate one sale per call. And if they are anything like the guy who tried to persuade me to make an appointment then they are a) full of sh!t b) know less about what they are selling than I do (and that's not much) stock answer to these door to door people or the ones in the malls is, "sorry, I'm renting at the moment rather than getting drawn in to their sales pitches.

TaxbackerBrian Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yea, i did a lot of work in sales before in australia, these jobs when you go to the interview will have a base wage of 200$ per week, but if you make x amount of sales you will jump up to 1500 a week. In reality 95% of people will never meet the sales target and will be closer to $200 than $1500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
