So, we just decided over the last couple days that we are going to take the leap and head to Boston, Massachusetts for the summer to sell alarms for APX!
There have been a lot of variables that have helped us come to this decision. A few things have also helped me feel comfortable with trying out a straight commission job... oh wait, Scott has already been trying to run his construction company in a crap economy for almost two years on straight commission! So the commission thing isn't too much of a worry. I think Scott will do great! We are going out with an awesome group that includes Scott's cousin Kevin Radebaugh and his wife Rachel. It will be awesome to already know someone! This will be Kevin's third year and it has helped us to see how he has been able to be successful.
There are also some major benefits in going to Boston compared to other cities. APX does a lot of research on the market and what cities would be most beneficial to sell in. The unemployment rate is really low in Boston at only 4% and the national average is 9%. It has basically been recession proof and APX is also the only company with licensing to sell in all of Massachusetts which cuts way down on any competition other states may have.
We are SO EXCITED to live somewhere else! I have been raised in Orem and I think this will be really good for me since I generally shy away from any form of change.
Scott's schedule will be different, but I think it will work out great. He will work Monday through Saturday (which he needs to be doing right now anyway) starting at noon with a meeting, come home for a quick lunch and then will be out knocking doors from 1 to 9 pm. Not as bad as I had thought originally. He will be busy, but if this gets us completely out of debt it will be so worth it!
I have never been to the east coast and am excited to experience it!
We will be leaving around the 20th of April and will be coming back at the end of August or beginning of September.
Has anyone been to Boston? It looks beautiful in pictures I have seen! Here are a few...
