Outside Sales Representative
About The Position
NFIB is hiring a field-based B2B Outside Sales Representative to grow membership by prospecting and selling face-to-face to small business owners in a local market. The representative presents NFIB’s advocacy mission and membership benefits, identifies business needs, handles objections, and enrolls new members. This hunter/closer role follows a structured sales process with an assumptive one-call close and no post-sale account management, so the focus remains on prospecting, selling, and membership growth. The position offers a 100% commission compensation plan with uncapped earning potential. Average annual earnings are stated as $80,000–$200,000+. Performance-based training pay is available for up to 13 weeks at $1,000 per week or commissions earned, whichever is greater. Commissions are paid weekly, with monthly and quarterly bonuses. The role includes a flexible, self-directed work environment with significant independence.
