Oh no!  Can you imagine having to talk about a vacuum cleaner for a whole hour?  Or worse yet, one of the Halo chargers?!?

I think I would love the on air part but not the hours!

When I was a young mother and got to stay home for a few years, I was an Avon lady and I would tell my customers oh don't get that! when I thought something wasn't that great.

So maybe I wouldn't last very long with the management lol!

No. I'm exhausted thinking about it. Lol.

Don't wanna "work for the man" in a big corp. either, ever again.

That said...a sales rep for a brand, maybe. More flexible, and I could do that job. Actually was offered that type thing back when I was doing the "buying" end...timing, place, Covid...didn't work out. Been in sales, buying, merchandising, retail...retired now...and like certain aspects of it. Loved buying/merchandising (but for small boutiques) best.

No.  Very demanding job.  You have to look good every shift, do a lot of prep, talk for hours and keep your mind fixed on what you are doing and saying.  Listen to people in your ear AND talk and do demos.  Be there and be happy seemingly whether you feel it or not.

I don't worry about "not telling the truth" because someone loves everything they sell enough to buy one.  So a lot of it isn't something I would buy.  You would buy it!  It's worth something to someone. But it is really a difficult job, all said and done.  I'd want a job behind the scenes.

Absolutely not

No - too many commenting about my appearance. I’m not good at selling anything even Girl Scout cookies. I always had a fear of public speaking but got over it in the business world but I don’t think I could do TV with a huge audience.

Definitely not because if I thought an item was a piece of junk, I could not make it sound like it was the greatest thing!

[Group 5 minus 1]

No. I think the amount of hours worked would not echo the salary paid.

[Estellee]

No, I couldn't promote a product I didn't like.
