Jobs as a rep?

Hi guys

I am looking for a job change and wanted something where i work out of an office. I am thinking of maybe a company rep but i dont know where to start as i know some companies are just comission based and perhaps arent reliable. Where should i look to start off??
I've just started entering the competitions (July 07). When I win I'll update this signature. Look on the bright side, I shouldn't have to update it very often.

    Thanks for the reply. I dont mind to much about what im doing but i dont fancy pushing people to buy things they dont want. I have also looked into estate agent work.

    Ive seen a few rep jobs which are good basic money (20k to 30k)with full training which makes me suspicious!

    as long as the job is with a reputable firm then the training will be fine
