What are sales commissions like at 3 Day Blinds?

Great comraderie with team, remote work, and flexible schedule

Benefits are ok, pay is on par with market, and DC's are 100% commission only

There is plenty of opportunity to make good money, but in Minnesota it feels very seasonal. If you're okay with making 5k one month and 1,400 dollars the next then you'll be fine. Technically you can make your own schedule.

You have to work on the weekends and benefits are minimal. They treat you as if you're a full time employee on a base salary but the reality is that you make a 0 dollar base and are 100% commission. It is certainly not the worst place I have worked but it can be more stress than it's worth for the overall compensation.

they pay you while you train for 3 weeks, not even enough to cover bills

if you do not drive outside of your 20 mile radius, you do not get paid for mileage. so you can spend your entire week in your car and use a tank of gas and only get reimbursed $12, but drive 150 miles and spend 15 hours driving. it's 100% commission, and everyone expects a discount. the company makes you feel like you can be a HERO and get the sale while offering up to a 40% discount.. but when you discount YOU ARE GIVING AWAY YOUR COMMISSION. every % discounted is your $$$ commission--- not the company's money. You drive around and meet with people, spend 2-3 hours in the home and get paid nothing if you do not close the sale. inside sales starts emailing immediately after your appointment- they have the easy job, all they do is sit and follow up on your hard work- the company has you running ragged so you don't have time to follow up on "lost opportunities". no time to pee, eat, or drink water while on the road. my district manager told me it's a real "road warrior" job. but in reality, it's a rat race. the company robs you of your time, gas, and mental health. but your managers drive luxury cars, wear luxury clothing and offer "support" but its all for show. this is the worst place to work--- terrible.

I have worked as a 3 Day Blinds Design Consultant for 4 years, and love my job. Great training, management, and company culture; low stress. I enjoy the variety of each day; meeting with many interesting people, ultilizing my creativity/design skills, and using my sales skills to help clients achieve a look they love for their home. The company provides a generous ramping-up period for you to still earn bonuses while you are learning the job. For me, it's been a lucrative income ($100K++) Another plus is that the company provides qualified, pre-set appointments, yet rewards us for also generating our own leads

Some people are hesitant about working 100% commission. You do have to be driven and willing to work and follow the process. However, unlike other sales jobs where you spend 90% of your efforts prospecting and only 10% selling/closing, here all of the marketing and appointment-setting is provided. Personally, I like performance-based pay because my income is uncapped and directly reflects my efforts.

3 Day Blinds provides unqualified leads

Sales contests offered with no prizes delivered. This company sends it's consultants out and if the project is not closed the same day, 3 day internet team takes over. This company is competing with itself. It makes no sense. But it does make money for the company. This organizations tracks everything, including the time of the design consultant. If the internet steals your sale, you make 50% of the commission. The company reports that you make a commission of 10% plus bonus. Not true. I had excellent, excellent performance and finished my year with a 9% total commission including bonuses.

Great pay, flexible schedule, fun job

Commission based pay is always a challenge, but is also an opportunity

Flexible schedule. Lots of product training as well as sales training. Training prior to going out in the field, in the field with a trainer, in the beginning and then meetings weekly for updates and sales tweaking. Most leads are given to you in various zip codes and then you are bonused on bringing your own leads. Good commission and bonus structure. Once you get started, you can earn a nice living. Samples are given to you, along with mileage and toll reimbursement. Seasoned Consultants are eager to share their successes! District Sales Manager very easy to work with. She's always available and knows her tech, so helpful there as well.

Getting used to door to door can take a bit of getting used to. If you don't know window treatments, there is product training, but could take awhile to understand.

Flexible hours, great management, paid vacation

No salary only commission and bonus.

Ability to make a lot of commission if you work really hard

Pricing not competitive. Customer care is super slow and unresponsive. Corporate is greedy.
