I work in capital leasing. It’s an industry with a higher turnover than ERAC, but most get fired because they can’t produce. If you make it, you get treated like gold unlike ERAC. My last Christmas bonus at ERAC was a $15 cooler. At my current job I got a $15,000 check. See the difference.

I didn’t get hired to make 250K+ out of ERAC…I wish. I did make 24K base and w/ commission, I earned 90K my first year. I made roughly 170K the next year after getting put on full commission. This is the seventh month in my third year, my first as a sales manager. I have some residuals coming in from some deals I did in my first year as well as my commission from my sales and my team’s. I should make $300K+.

About getting a job with my current company without ERAC is very debatable. I manage four former ERACers on my sales team two were BMs and one ARM. So, with them, it helped when I interviewed them. However, when I joined, I was the first ERACer and I actually had to convince them why a customer service retail manager could succeed in a hard core, cold-calling environment. They thought, I’d be too nice and too much of a push over to succeed. I guess they’ve all rented cars from ERAC.
