Hey to everyone who has had experience in commission based sales positions!

I'm working on getting a job in sales and I know I have the skills and the drive necessary to succeed. I just don't know what to sell or how to get a job selling it. I'm thinking about working as an Aflac representative, and feel that I'd do pretty darn well in that field. I've already spoken to a hiring manager in my area for Aflac and I should get the job.

Do you have any suggestions as to how I might make certain I get the job? What about future sales-job hunts? What might be a good sales job to start out in? Is graduating college, which I'm currently attending, very important?

I've read 20 odd books on sales just because I thought it would help my self-employed job, which it did, as well as my communication skills. I'm really eager to get a job in sales and see what I can do, because I'm positive I can kick some sales-ass.

Thanks so much!
