I'm trying to fill in an online application and the positions available are sales and sales associate. I don't know which one to choose!!!! HELP!!!
I'm sorry...I wrote that incorrectly...it's sales and sales support.
 
A sales associate, more than likely, works in a store or a fixed spot. You may get an hourly salary and a small commission.

Someone in sales, more than likely, contacts potential customers and tries to sell the product or services to them. You can be a sales rep in the garment industry, drug companies, construction, real estate, in fact, nearly any field.

Someone is sales relies mostly on commission. You may get a "draw against commission" meaning they will give you a salary to meet your needs, but your commissions will be deducted from that. Your commissions should far exceed your draw in a matter of weeks.

I worked in sales for years and liked being on commission because I was very good. If you are afraid of the word "no" or are not comfortable with being persistent, a sales associate job is for you. If you are willing to give it your all a job in sales can make you more money.

Be careful about the company you join. A friend of mine worked for Verizon. They promised him the world and he nearly went bankrupt waiting for their promises to come true.

Good luck! I hope I helped.
