Business Development & Marketing Sales Associate Commission-Based | Unlimited Earning Potential | New-Account and Recurring Commissions Garnished-Events LLC is an established, full-service event planning, décor, staffing, and rental company serving clients throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Since 2012, we have created memorable weddings, milestone celebrations, corporate events, private dinners, and custom commercial décor installations. We are seeking confident, outgoing, and highly motivated Marketing and Sales Associates who thrive in a commission-based role. The ideal candidates are skilled at developing professional relationships, identifying profitable opportunities, and closing new business. What You'll Do Establish partnerships with hotels, banquet halls, restaurants, event venues, and other commercial businesses. Generate and qualify new leads. Present Garnished-Events' services to prospective clients and business partners. Develop relationships with venue managers, corporate decision-makers, hospitality professionals, and private clients. Secure new event, décor, and commercial contracts. Follow up consistently with prospects and guide opportunities through the initial sales process. Successfully introduce newly secured clients and accounts to Garnished-Events' management team. Represent Garnished-Events professionally at networking events, meetings, and site visits. Maintain accurate records of leads, referrals, accounts, and closed contracts. Compensation This is a commission-based opportunity with unlimited earning potential. Commercial Accounts and Installations Earn 10% of the company's profit from the first qualifying commercial contract or installation you generate and close. Earn 5% of the company's profit from qualifying repeat business generated by that commercial account for up to 12 months. Private Events and Clients Earn 10% of the company's profit from the first qualifying private-event contract you generate and close. Earn 5% of the company's profit from qualifying repeat business generated by that client for up to 12 months. After the initial contract is secured, Garnished-Events will assume responsibility for managing the client relationship, including proposals, contracts, planning, pricing, communication, and service delivery. This allows the Marketing and Sales Associate to focus on developing new relationships and closing new business. Associates must remain active and in good standing with Garnished-Events to receive recurring commissions. Commission Examples If a private event produces a $4,000 profit, the associate would earn a 10% commission of $400 on the initial contract. If that private client books another qualifying event during the 12-month commission period, the associate would earn 5% of the profit from the repeat booking. If a qualifying commercial installation produces a $14,000 profit, the associate would earn a 10% commission of $1,400 on the initial project. If the commercial client books another qualifying project during the 12-month commission period, the associate would earn 5% of the profit from that repeat project. Commissions are calculated from the company's profit—not the total contract price. Profit is determined after applicable direct project expenses, including labor, products, materials, rentals, transportation, subcontractors, processing fees, and other project-related costs. Commissions are paid after the client's payment has been received in full and the qualifying contract has been successfully completed. Account Ownership and Eligibility All clients, leads, partnerships, and accounts secured on behalf of Garnished-Events remain the exclusive business relationships of Garnished-Events LLC. Garnished-Events assumes full management of each account after the initial contract is secured. Recurring commissions apply only to qualifying business directly connected to an account originally generated and documented by the associate. Commissions do not apply to existing Garnished-Events clients, company-generated leads, or bookings obtained independently through the company's advertising and marketing. Recurring commissions are available for up to 12 months from the first completed contract, provided the associate remains active and in good standing. Additional commission terms will be outlined in the associate's written compensation agreement. Who We're Looking For A natural salesperson who is confident generating leads, asking for business, and closing deals. Strong communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills. Self-motivated, organized, and comfortable working independently. Persistent and professional when following up with prospective clients. Experience in sales, marketing, hospitality, events, hotels, restaurants, or business development is strongly preferred. Existing hospitality, commercial, or event-industry relationships are a plus. Reliable transportation and the ability to attend local meetings, site visits, and networking events when necessary. Comfortable and motivated by performance-based compensation. Why Join Garnished-Events? Unlimited commission potential. Earn 10% of the profit from qualifying initial contracts.
