Do you or your S/O do sales from home?

yes. we mainly sell fertilizer, but it is not a direct thing - we only earn commissions. definitely not enough to make a living but a nice bonus in the fall and spring - and i mean nice! the company we are with is amazing. my hubby also owns his business and works from home - it is almost enough to keep our heads above water.

Yes and Yes

My DH has worked out of our home for most of his career (30 years). He sells all sorts of high tech products. He had his own comapny for over 12 years representing several companies' products. And then worked for one company selling their product only. They assign a territory and he sells in that territory.

Other than selling our services, and the occasional bouts on ebay, no

yep we sell items on ebay a lot. we buy in bundles, investing into whatever would sell and allow a profit. right now we have made about 300 in cash in our pay pal account. it works out.

Meaning he will be doing sales at home from the telephone or computer? Does he have a company in mind? We have an call center in town that represents Sprint. You can work from home, but you have to take a 4-5 week training course on site first. It's a lot of work. You cannot have any distractions from home while you are working. Your calls are constantly being monitored the whole time you work. If one outside noise is found, you will be fired. I was not able to do it where I lived because you have to either have DSL or cable. At the time, I only had satellite.

Have him give it a shot and see how it goes... that's all you can do.

Nope neither one of us work in sales or from home.
