As far as your experience and lack of degree...most sales jobs it doesn't matter. You may have to work a little harder and go the extra mile finding a job without a track record. You're biggest asset will be persistence and your energy level. Bug the hell out of whoever you are trying to get a job with. They want to see that you have the energy and persistence to sell....and that includes selling yourself to them!

I figured as much. I kinda want to work for Apple but I don't know anything about Apple computers. Should I try to get a job with Apple and then immerse myself in training or learn about Apple computers and then try to get a job.

I've been 'bugging' the Aflac guy (corresponding) and I think I'll do really well with that, but I think I'd have more fun selling Apple PCs to school systems, small businesses etc.

I don't know what else I could sell. I just want to be able to be ethical and have a positive effect on peoples lives, and be extremely efficient in selling, mostly by putting the right prospects with the right products.

Any entry-level sales positions you'd recommend? Should I stay away from any?
