Outside Sales Representative
About The Position
NFIB is hiring a field-based, business-to-business Outside Sales Representative to drive new membership growth by prospecting, managing a local area, and selling face-to-face to small business owners. The representative presents NFIB’s advocacy mission and membership benefits, identifies business needs, addresses objections, and enrolls new members. This is a hunter/closer role with a structured sales process and an assumptive one-call close; there is no account management after the sale, allowing the representative to focus on prospecting and sales. The role offers a flexible, self-directed work environment with significant independence and uncapped commission earning potential. NFIB is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, member-driven organization that advocates for independent business owners.
