Telluride, CO Type:
1099
Independent Contractor Commission Only Commission:
10% on company-provided leads 15% on leads you bring in Realistic earning potential: $40K
  • 80K+/year for a motivated closer The Pitch You know that look on a homeowner's face the first time they pull into the driveway and see their house glowing for the holidays?
That's what you sell. Except it's not just Christmas — it's 4th of July decor, Halloween displays, weddings, restaurant patios, permanent year-round LED systems, and storefront magic. We're Mighty Bright Holiday Lights, and we're growing fast. Our install crew is incredible. What we need now is someone who can walk a property, sketch a vision, write a quote, and close the deal. If you can read a room, charm a homeowner, and you've got the kind of local Telluride relationships that turn into "yeah let's do it" — we want to talk to you. What You'll Sell Mighty Bright isn't a one-season company. You'll have something to sell every month of the year: Residential holiday lighting — Christmas (our bread and butter), 4th of July, Halloween, fall décor Permanent outdoor LED systems — programmable, year-round lighting that reconfigures for every holiday. High-ticket, high-margin, and the fastest-growing part of our business. Commercial accounts — restaurants, bars, hotels: bistro lights, patio lighting, year-round ambient, storefront décor. These are recurring relationships that compound. Weddings and private events — once-in-a-lifetime installs, often premium pricing, often referrals Property managers, HOAs, and real estate — multi-property contracts, recurring revenue, the kind of relationships that pay you back for years How the Money Works 100% commission. 1099 independent contractor. You set your own hours, run your own pipeline, write off your own truck miles. 10% commission on company-provided leads — we hand you warm inbounds from our marketing, past customers, and referrals. You walk the property, design the install, close the deal. 15% commission on leads you generate yourself — your relationships, your networking, your hustle. Bring it in, keep more. Bonus tiers on permanent LED installs over $10K and commercial contracts over $5K Recurring commission on multi-year contracts you originate (we'll talk specifics) Paid on collected revenue — typically within 30 days of customer payment
