Want to earn a recurring 20% commission on remote sales of music events to London/UK pubs? Then please read on!

We have been delivering weekly, multiple-format live music event services to pubs in London for over ten years.

We are looking for a commission-only salesperson to join the team as a freelancer, to expand our number of partner venues and increase our weekly event count.

Initially you’ll be focused on London locations, then expanding over the UK. Potential clients are any and every pub in the UK  (along with some bars and even hotels)- a potentially huge market!

Sales are made via cold-calling outreach, and subsequent follow ups, via phone and email. A database and CRM of venues will be provided for you to work through along with a work email account.

Commission on sales are paid on the last Friday of each month, at 20% of gross profit on sales, for all events you originally sold, that ran in the preceding month. This is ongoing and recurring commission until those events stop (which can be years down the line).

Example:

• You book 8 new events in June, that will start running weekly from July
• Those 8 events run in July
• End of August you’ll be paid 20% of the gross profit from sales for those 8 events
• For any of those events that continue to run in August, you’ll again be paid 20% commission on their gross profit at the end of September
• This continues monthly until the events are cancelled (which can be years down the line)

Below are some examples:

N.B. These figures are for illustrative purposed only, and not guaranteed; your commission maybe lower or higher, depending on circumstances outside of your control (i.e. how long the events continue for you once they start) and within your control (i.e. how many sales you close and at what value). With that said:

The current average single event gross profit is £116, meaning your commission would be £23 per event. As the events generally run weekly and assuming they run for approx. 48 weeks per year (there’s usually a break over Christmas and New Years), that gives you an average single sale annual commission value of £1,114.

In an ideal world, if you closed the sale on one new weekly event per week, over a 48 week year, that would give you £1,114 x 48 = £53,472 in annual commission, which would continue paying out year on year, so long as the events continued.

However, as the world is never ideal(!), let’s assume a 50% reduction (e.g. events don’t continue for whatever reason). That would still be an annual recurring commission of £26,736. If you add more sales the next year, that would increase.

We’re looking for someone who:

– is results-orientated and loves to close sales and earn commission!
– has a strong work ethic in picking up the phone and making calls
– can choose their own hours to work; as most pubs are open from 10-11am until 10-11pm, Monday to Sunday (though obviously the more hours you work, the more sales you are likely to get, the more commission you’re likely to earn!)
– is amiable, polite and professional on the phone, whilst still maintaining their own personality (we’re not after robots!)
– is self-motivated and can work with minimum supervision
– is methodical in working through and following up with leads, both via the phone and email
– has attention to detail and the discipline to use and update our database and CRM with their activities after every call/email
– is self-autonomous and happy to work mostly asynchronously with your line manager, including leaving them an end-of-day daily update voicemail
– works as a freelancer, on a recurring commission-only basis; the more you sell, the more you earn!

If this sounds good to you then please get in touch ASAP!
