Need help convincing family and friends I am not a bank teller

Just signed an offer for SA 2024 at a major American bank, but have been struggling to explain to my family and friends that I am not working as a bank teller. Any thoughts or tips on how I should go about trying to explain what I'll be doing in Spanish

“You know how real estate agents sell houses on commission? I do the same thing, except my boss sells other peoples’ companies for them, and we make a commission.”
