Market Sales Representative ($10 / Hr Base + 10% Commission)

declutterd is looking for motivated, energetic, relentless, and Market Sales Representative to join our team.

We are a small but rapidly growing candle company.

As a Market Sales Representative, your main job is to attend craft markets on behalf of declutterd and sell candles. This position has both a base pay and a 10% commission structure based on the Net Sales (Sales after discounts and taxes) from the market if you do it SOLO. If you work the markets with another person, you will not receive commission and only the hourly rate. There will be mixed availability between SOLO and TEAM markets. This job is a perfect entry-level job for anyone who is motivated, doesn’t mind carrying heavy things all the time. Since you have to set up everything yourself sometimes, you will have to go to the set up area a few hours before the market starts, move all the equipment and inventory (candles boxes which is around 50 pounds), set up the tents and tables, and break down the markets when you’re leaving.

The potential payout for SOLO markets can range in total (including base pay) to come out between $20-$60/hour depending on the market location, duration and season. The distribution of SOLO vs TEAM markets will vary based on market availability, team availability, and season, but we will try to get as many earning opportunities for you as we can.

HOW MARKETS WORK
- declutterd participates in many craft markets all year long. Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall all have markets that people shop candles from. We send 1-2 market representatives to each market and have them set up, process orders, and break down.
- Our candle studio is based in Carrollton, TX. This is where you will be picking up and dropping off inventory. We record how many candles you started with and how many you came back with to make sure everything matches the sales (to ensure proper checks and balances)

IMPORTANT
- This position is not difficult but it will be hard on your body. You will sweat a lot, be tired, and stand in the sun when it’s hot in Dallas. But it is well worth it if you have a successful market.
