Today I received a call from an employer who reviewed my resume from a career site. Boy did she hit the jackpot...25 years of sales experience and needs a job.
"How much business can you bring in within the first month?" she asked. "We'll give you a one month test period."
"What company are you with?" I replied.
I explained that no one can guarantee her a specific amount upfront. If she wasn't willing to invest more time in her employees why should I invest the time of my contacts and my reputation? In addition, she missed the June fiscal it wouldn't be until September before she saw serious money on the table. There would be opportunities for some consumer summer specials but I don't even know about the company yet. I didn't even have time to prepare for an interview with her.
Her response was, "Well you're looking for a six-figure income, you should be able to bring in money immediately. This call was going nowhere. I told her that her urgency raised a red flag of desperation and instability with her company and thanks but no thanks.
Off to an interview today. Ttyl...
