I want to work at home, but don't want to do sales!

Not all work at home jobs involve sales. You can apply as an Article writer, link builder, online teacher and so on. Feel free to check my signature to get tips on how to find legitimate homebased jobs.

Any exchange that you do in life involves selling, to one degree or another.

A baby out of the womb wants attention or food. What do they do?
They give you the baby pitch. "Wah wah" They cry to express a thought or feeling.

All exchanges express a thought. If you apply for what ever job, your resume is basically a sales presentation. The question is to what degree do you want to exert yourself?

Ah, I used to be a door to doorer (don't hate me yet, let me explain! It was only for two weeks and I was only eighteen and very very poor with no qualifications! And I stopped because it is just so unethical, and my feet hurt...) the only way to stop them is by saying "I already have that / do that / am that". We have answers written down for us for any other reason, we are taught to go with the pitch no matter what else they say. And it is almost always ripping you off! I'm sorry!!!

Who said Direct Sales is about going door to door? I am with Tupperware and I don't go door to door and banging on peoples doors.

I am in Direct Sales with Watkins and I don't go door to door either. I do well with my business.

By the way, if you are getting ripped off, you are in the wrong business.

travor, that's just offensive. Everyone doing business is selling something, whether it be a product or a service (as someone said in an earlier post an online tutor is not selling something, but they are selling their services as a tutor-- a "product" that a potential student needs).

You are stereotyping sales professionals. We need sales. When I need a product or a service I often need someone knowledgeable to help me to make a decision. Even passive sales is useful and necessary. I often use online "sales" resources to purchase products and services. These are sales tools.

I agree with Darlene and Shelly. My mother built her (very successful) insurance and securities brokerage by literally going door to door. Once she built a client base that way, she was able to get referrals from existing clients and didn't have to pound the pavement. This was over 30 years ago and it was how she built her business. She is a very ethical person who had a valuable resource to offer people and would not be in business for that length of time if she were "ripping people off".

The words sales now cover up the both product and services are provided or hired. In the both way concept of sales is involved. So the best guy who can achieve the targets work from home........ by providing services honestly and sincerely,
