"Man is what he believes" - Anton Chekkov.

Summer Sales: Facts vs. Fiction

If you are a student in college chances are you have heard about summer sales. In fact, you have probably been approached by a student who has done summer sales before inviting you to participate in a summer of sales. You may have seen flyers promoting the fact that students just like you are earning big money during the summer selling pest control or home security systems. So is there any truth to these claims?

FACT: Thousands of students make well over 20,000 dollars each summer going door to door selling products and services. They will sell pest control, security systems, satellite and cable television and a variety of other products and services. These students are above average sales representatives who work 8-10 hours each day.

FACT: It is estimated that each summer over 100,000 students participate in selling products door to door during the summer, not all of these students will walk away from the summer with
big money.
