• Gift and souvenir shops, hardware and farm & ranch, outdoor and sporting goods, garden centers, funeral homes, schools, veteran and civic organizations, promotional products, and corporate gifting.
• Seasonal peaks: Memorial Day, July 4th, Veterans Day, and America 250.
• Non-exclusive: keep your other non-competing lines. Set your own schedule and methods. No fees to join.

Compensation:

• Commission only, no base salary.
• Competitive commission on new accounts you open, with extra bonuses as accounts grow.
• Paid monthly with itemized statements, and your leads are protected once registered.
• Commission rates and bounty details are shared during the interview.

Qualifications

• Your own sales agency or registered business, with a W-9 and a current line card or website.
• 3+ years selling consumer products to store owners, retail buyers, or distributors.
• At least 3 accounts where you placed orders in the last 90 days, with one buyer reference we may contact.
• Complementary (not competing) lines that put you in front of the right buyers.
• A defined territory and your own vehicle, phone, and tools.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience placing products in retail chains, big-box, grocery, or mass retail (e.g. Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Lowe's, Tractor Supply, Ace, regional grocery chains): vendor onboarding, line reviews, category buyers, planograms, and retail programs.
• Strong negotiation and closing skills, and long-term buyer relationships.
• A written first-90-day plan for introducing our line.
• Bachelor's degree in business, marketing, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Comfortable using AI tools for prospecting and outreach.
• Veterans encouraged to apply.
