What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sales Representative - Bilingual (Spanish) position at LatinosIndy.com?
Advertising, Employer Partnerships & Sponsorship Sales Independent Contractor | Flexible/Remote within Central Indiana
LatinosIndy.com is seeking an independent, commission-based Business Partnerships Representative to develop relationships with businesses, employers and organizations that want to connect with Central Indiana’s Latino community.
The representative will sell across LatinosIndy.com’s advertising, sponsored content, event promotion, employer branding, job-board and custom sponsorship opportunities.
This is a nonexclusive 1099 independent-contractor opportunity. The representative controls their own schedule and prospecting activity, builds most of their own pipeline and may maintain other nonconflicting clients or sources of income.
LatinosIndy.com provides product onboarding, CRM access, media kits, approved packages and pricing, proposal materials and sales support. Inbound and company-developed opportunities may be shared when available, but the representative should expect to build most of their pipeline independently.
Income is not guaranteed, but the role offers recurring commissions, larger custom partnership opportunities and uncapped earning potential.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify, research and develop prospective clients throughout Central Indiana
