Where you live: Open to most states if near a major airport. Must reside in the US.

What you will be doing:

You will visit auto shops with with a trusted vendor partner that is a well-respected household name, to sell our business analysis, which is best in the industry.

Unlike cold-call jobs, you not only will be given the shops to visit (you don't have to hunt for leads!), but you will also be introduced directly to the potential clients by our industry partner. You will feel great about the product you are selling, which is an excellent value to our clients. When not on the road visiting shops, you will follow-up on your visits and make sure your admin is up to date.

Travel:
This position requires substantial week-day travel. Typically that is 3 sales days a week and Monday and Friday are travel days. A typical travel week will involve flying out on Monday from your home base to a city, spending Tuesday to Thursday doing sales calls, and then flying back on Friday. This schedule occurs on average about 3 weeks a month. You can expect up to 40 weeks a year involving travel. Candidates living close to a major airport will be given preference, as it will cut down on travel time. On the weeks you are not traveling, you will have the opportunity to engage in further remote training and lead follow-ups to gain additional sales.

The first 3-6 weeks of your employment will involve training from your home office.

Base Pay Commission

The base pay is $684 / week. Depending on how many sales you make per week, you can expect to make an additional $450 to $1,450 in commissions. We also provide in-house training at a training rate of $1,000 per week.
