The Grit

The Good

Most well structured and organized sales company I sold for. (Sold for 2 others). The systems at the Grit are the best and training is top notch, especially for rookies. I always felt confident recruiting to Grit because I knew my rookies would have the resources to succeed.

Fair Warning

Be careful which team you join. Make sure you are joining the team your values align the most with.

The Good

Grit is great at motivating reps and providing an environment for you to get the best results out of yourself. They pay what they say they’ll pay and are transparent about everyone else’s pay. You’re all on the same pay scale so you know there’s no funny business. Trainings are dialed, leaders care about you and are willing to put in real time with anyone to help you succeed. Great environment if you want to take D2D seriously and get help from people who have done it.

The Good

The team managers helped create a great team culture. It led to a lot of hard work and goal setting which helped me have a great summer. Everything involving pay was also very clear.

The Good

The team was super entertaining to be with and they made it fun with the competitions like the rumble. I loved the experience of growing with the team. The market that we sold in was also amazing.

Fair Warning

They help you to know everything before you go out.

The Good

I thought many times during my time there that the team was made up of some of the most supportive people I had ever been around. I felt like they all cared so much about my success and the success of the rest of the team, that it was super motivating. Like every time someone got a sale, it was super hyped up. I thought the trainings each morning were helpful and applicable. I was only selling for like a month before a corporate job started, and the difference between my actual earnings vs my expectations was more based off of how much effort I was putting into it. Like I wasn't the best at pitching and applying all the trainings, and I was okay with it because I was having a good time as is and I wasn't doing it for long. But I do feel like if I had put in more effort, I did have all the tools and training available to do better. And with the sales I got, my team and all the managers were great at making me feel like a team player. And as "sales broey" as all of the team was, they ended up being much nicer and more including than I expected going into it.

Fair Warning

I thought it was fun and I think I was pretty positive and optimistic about it most days. But I think it helps to have some kind of motivation and goal for what you are trying to make or accomplish with the summer. I didn't have that strong of a goal each week or in general, and I had a good time, but I definitely missed out on some earnings because I was pretty relaxed with it. So many tools are available to sell well but you have to be willing to apply and try everything to see results.

The Good

I'm not exactly sure how or why, but people seem to do better at the Grit. I think being surrounded by a lot of the best door-to-door salespeople in the industry helps everyone knocking perform better. The training is solid. I'm not sure about everyone in management at the Grit, but my main leader was a super good guy and I could tell that he cared about everyone who was selling under him (and not just because it increased his bottom line). Overall a good choice and if you have any ability to perform well in door-to-door sales, they can help you take full advantage of it.

Fair Warning

If you don't like "sales culture" (or whatever you call it), the Grit may not be the move for you. Truth be told, the Grit basically personifies that culture (or at least did when I sold there). Everyone is super bro-y. Generally nice guys though.
