For those of you that might not have heard the news, I am heading to California for the summer. The details have been ironed out and I will be living in San Diego. I’ve been waiting for things to finalize before I made this post.
Plane ticket is booked. Visa papers are on schedule. Door-to-door sales pitch is being finalized.
Door-to-door sales? Yes. I will be selling security systems with a team of 12 or so guys and girls from around Halifax. After landing in California on the 27th of April, we’ll be taking care of the nitty-gritty, such as opening new bank accounts, getting a local cell phone, and stocking the place with groceries and essentials. Then we will be hitting the streets later that week.
When I tell people I will be selling door-to-door, as imaged, I receive a variety of responses. Most people don’t believe that a company is willing to fly us down and house us for a summer to sell, it must be a scam. Others think it’s a horrible idea and no base wage equals no money made. I’ve heard everything from only ex cons that can’t get any other job do door-to-door sales to “you will likely get yourself shot.”
Luckily there are those that think it’s a great idea, and a great experience. Personally, I think it will not only be a great experience, but a great opportunity to see part of California while making some decent cash. Not to mention new friends and a great time.
So the countdown is on. 13 days and I will be waiting for my connecting flight in Montreal. Now if only these exams would be over so I could start getting excited.
