About Us

About the Role
We are looking for a self-driven, 1099 Independent Contractor to grow our membership base. You will prospect, present, and close new business owner clients into our trade and barter program. This is a commission-only opportunity with uncapped earning potential and residual income on every account you sign.

This role is ideal for experienced outside sales professionals who want the freedom of an independent contractor lifestyle with the support of a proven program.

- Prospect new business clients through cold calls, walk-ins, networking events, and referrals
- Conduct in-person and virtual presentations with business owners and decision-makers
- Explain and sell the value of our barter/trade membership program
- Close new member agreements and hand off to the onboarding team
- Manage your own pipeline and activity using our CRM tools
- Represent Metro Trading Association at local business events and networking groups
- Meet or exceed monthly new member enrollment targets

What We're Looking For
- Proven outside sales or B2B sales experience
- Comfortable with cold outreach, self-prospecting, and working independently
- Strong communicator with solid closing skills
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
- Familiarity with small business operations
- Barter or trade experience is a plus — but not required

Compensation Structure (1099 / Commission-Only)
- Commission paid on every new member you enroll
- Uncapped earnings — your income is determined by your effort and results
- Flexible schedule — you set your own hours and manage your own territory

This Is NOT a Salaried Position
This is a 1099 independent contractor role. There is no base salary, no hourly pay, and no employee benefits. Ideal for motivated self-starters who want control over their income and schedule.
