I had a interview with vp of a local cement company that has about 5 plants. I was offered $3500/month with company truck, company card, company phone , and all benefits. Off every other weekend. Would be in charge of outside sales around my whole parish to get jobs. I know a lot of contractors so this will help . He was very very open and nice. He actuallyhad me over to his personal house for dinner and drinks then offered me. Was very nice and was sure to tell me I wouldn't be just a worker I would be family and he wants to to retire from there . Mentioned quarterly bonuses with radishes often upon me doing well . Also said he never wants to see me go to a place for a loan that if I ever need anything to come to him and ask and he will positively help out. Offered me his camps and even said I will have all the opportunities I want to go to events with him or to use companies event tickets for myself . He spoke highly of me and said though I lack the schooling or education he feels real world experience is more important to him . He felt I had the personality and energy to be a great salesman with his company . He extended the offer to me and said sleep on it and talk it over to your fiancé and let me know .

I'm going to call him back in the next few hours and would love advice as far as to how to negogiate a higher salary with him . He knows it is coming for the simple fact he is hiring me for sales .

And also what do you think about the incentives that e is offering me ? Thanks

Take it. When you accept, ask for a better incentive/bonus package for when you do well/make sales. Get whatever the bonus/incentive parameters are in writing. Tell him you you want to do well when you help him do well. Bust arse, profit.

Definitely take advantage of this and try them in tortilla soup.
