Sales Job
I went for an interview at this place today that is a health club. the job is. basically "coaching" people towards a better and healthier lifestyle, and the mean time they lose weight. the way that i get paid is by selling this certain brand of nutrition products. it is a very reputable brand, the company sponsors many olympic athletes and is the nutrition brand of many professional teams. so i am not questioning the products.
however, i dont know if this is right for me. to start you have to pay 65$ for the certification to sell the product, or you could buy the 99$ package and get the certification plus $100 of their products. i just don't know if this is worth it. the club brings in cleints so i wouldnt have to worry much about that. i start off making 25% of my sales and quickly work up to 50%. can anyone please give me some advice on this!

I wouldn't do it, if I were you.
Generally, it's not a good idea to take a job where you have to 'buy in' to the program. Some of these jobs are legitimate, many hair dressers have some sort of buy in for new stylists to get their space at trendy salons... However, as a general rule, it's not wise.
Especially if you aren't keen on sales to begin with. Sales is not hard to learn, but few people I've met (myself included) really enjoy it.
If you have other options, go with those. A sales job like this is rarely 'as advertised' (who told you that the club brings in clients and you work up quickly? The same person you'd be handing a cheque to get certification, right?) and is really only a good job if it really excites you. If you are having doubts and suspicions, look elsewhere.

any job that forces you to buy their product so that you can work for them is...oh whats the word?a rip off!unless you need and would use the product continuously then dont take the job.Sounds like it wants to eat your waages...mayeb try selling clothes,or shoes...if your unsure about the job already then its very likely you wont like the job when you start.
