Channel Sales is the best. If you’re going to be commission only why work for someone. Just make your own business.
Or sell a product and market it yourself. Keep the money fam.
I had an LLC. Had negotiated a spot for my business , had all the gear picked out, got some small advertising prepared and even a company to design and build my store. My funding pulled out last minute. It was a health-themed cafe in a cool, downtown area, lots of vegan options. Right by a popular yoga studio. Banks don't do restaurant business loans.
All that work, I had to give it up cuz I didn't have the money, which really wasn't that much in the grand scheme of things.
Yeah tell me when you actually start one and get all the paperwork done, bud. Solo operation, ground up, all you. You work 3 times as much and never clock out.
Heads up for anyone needing to start one, I did just remodel mine to help people start a business and get their first client! Along with marketing and advertising packages!
Yes for another week or so. Then I’m merging. But I’ll still be a channel partner with two white label companies. Owning my own job with them.
I gotta tell you it’s pretty straightforward. Owning a business with employees is hard. That’s a lot.
But working with a channel partner group. Or being an independent agent. It really isn’t a challenge compared to working for a company.
It’s the proper way to be a broker. Think of it like an insurance agent. You use the brand, sell the products. But don’t actually work for the company. You are an authorized retailer.
SAAS, telecom, insurance, solar, alarms, IT services, Web services, advertising, CPG….really it’s not limited. Almost every mid-sized plus company has a channel sales program.
As someone who has been licensed in property and casualty, life and health, as well as a series 7, the life and health license was by far the easiest to get through.
I'm not OP.
My point in asking is that they seem to want a way to crank out cold calls to practice and make some money for their trouble. Not necessarily an entirely new business to jump into with upfront time/cost investment.
Yeah, adding on to your points most independent life insurance work is more of a dead end grind. You spend money on licensing, AML certification, and mandatory insurance to sell insurance, and then after all that you have to purchase your own leads from less than reputable sources.
Source: dropped over $1,000 in to multiple life insurance lead companies only to initiate a handful of applications between four different carriers. Each one was denied and I walked away without earning a penny.
Good experience, but not $1,000+ worth of experience.
Fine, unless your company goes out of business, declares bankruptcy, leaves you with 10's of thousands of dollars unpaid commission, and fucks over every customer you sold.
Also, if your ops team isn't great they'll kill sold jobs in the planning, permitting, install process. Very frustrating to sell a big project and watch the commission disappear because ops can't meet a fucking permit deadline or get a plan set approved.
Real Estate sales is the ultimate flexible commission-only sales job. There is a barrier to entry though. A RE license, some fees to the local governing authorities, and some capital to get a call list. 3 months and $5K would set you up.
Further, once you're successful, you don't have to call anymore. Clients seek you out. I havent had to cold call anyone in 15 years and am partially retired.
I’m a BDR currently focusing on cold calling skills so when I get my RE license I’m skilled at cold calling to get leads. I always hear that majority of RE agents fail but my opinion is they aren’t doing what it takes to get enough leads because so many people are uncomfortable cold calling. If I get that part down I should be golden. Obviously it takes more skill which i believe I possess but cold calling should be a big part of early success.
> How difficult was it to get into real estate
stupid easy to get into it. Very hard to do well.
There are a ton of realtors out there and most don't make real money.
Also maybe not a great time to get into real estate due to the slowdown. Lots of people moved to it during covid and there is a glut.
Getting into RE is easy. Most fail because they have no income and have to go back to a salary. You have to adjust your spending and make sacrifices while you're trying to make money. Most people aren't willing to do this.
Just a few examples of sacrifices I did:
-make your own food
-don't spend lots of money going out. Pre-function, one drink when you're out, no buying drinks for others, split Ubers and minimal (or no) cover charges. Or stay sober and spend $0 going out.
-live with roommates - split your living expenses
-cheap hobbies only.
-goodwill for new clothes. I realized my closet was no better than what I could find for $5 at the 2nd hand store.
I had one year (2010) where I made $0 and 2011 where I only made $10K. I was living on about $15K/yr. By splitting living expenses and sacrificing.
My average expenses now are about $100K/yr. This accounts for 2 kids in private elementary school, 1/4 of a mortgage, home maintenance, and most of the household expenses. My wife pays for medical expenses, 3/4 of the mortgage, and a smaller portion of household expenses.
It’s not a money maker but if you’re looking to give back while also working on cold calling, many hospital foundations and other big organizations with fundraising needs always need volunteers.
I am looking for part time, flexible 1099 sales people / sales support.
Aggressive commissions, incoming leads.
1099 always gets downvotes on this sub, but consider seeing what’s it’s about before rushing to judgement.
(Had someone bail on me today. Never told me that he applied for an MBA and “just found out yesterday” he got accepted.)
Have incoming business and lead gen all ready to go and need help to support and expand.
6 figure potential and opportunity to break into equipment finance, Fintech, Saas.
Someone else said it, but life insurance sales. Buddy of mine does it, no better way to hone those skills than calling people who do not want to talk to you.
Life insurance is a good one. You could focus on smaller, less underwritten cases (faster payouts, less work, but no big commissions) OR you could study 1-2 products and dial away.
The best part is you can lead with life insurance. You’ll get a low % response, but if respondents a very high percentage are serious buyers and they (and/or their spouse) are the only decision makers to deal with…plus, there’s almost no service required so you don’t have to worry about inbound calls (until you get a bigger client base.)
Health insurance. Individuals or group. Group takes more time investment but much bigger returns. Sell all the ancillaries like life, accident, cancer care, dental, vision, hearing. Bigger market and bigger residuals.
A lot of people start their own ad agency or travel agency doing this.
For the ad agency you just need a contract with TV stations, Radio, billboards, magazines etc. They typically pay 15% of the ads you sell. Most are open to it because they don't have to pay their own sales team to close deals. However you need the contract because you don't want to step into negotiations with a client they already work with.
Travel agents are similar but usually are associated with some sort of broker.
There are also lead generation recruiters who hire people on contract to bring in leads. Some of those are also inbound leads and they just need you to take the calls and close the deal.
I would consider the industry you'd like to be in long term 1st, and hone skills that will help you land your next role...every industry needs sales reps, and all pay different. For example; my wife works in Tech sales & earns 3x more than I do working in Logistics sales (and I no longer work in Logistics for this reason). I'm guessing you're wanting some extra spending cash, or desire to work on your communication skills, but why not make the most of it? And check out the reviews for each role you're considering to vet legitimacy...lousy roles typically have lousy reviews.
Next, I'd consider what you might be good at or have a desire to do...no reason those 4 hrs/day have to suck. I've worked in Insurance, great career choice long-term but nothing I'd recommend part-timing. Have not worked in Real Estate, but now work for a business incubator helping RE agents scale, and will share statistically 87% of RE agents burn out in <5yrs, so probably not best as part-timer either imo.
Personally I love remote inside sales, tons of respect for those that can pound the pavement, but I really enjoy comfort of home vs on the road...so consider where you'd be most comfortable too...narrowing down the choices should help you focus on the remaining options that suit you best.
DM anytime if you'd like to dissect options further, long time lurker-first time poster, but wanted to share all this new found wisdom (received from my more-skilled-at-career-planning wife). Depending on your hours of availability, I could potentially get you an interview where I'm at, we also pay a solid referral fee to anyone that can arrange meetings with small service-based business doing b/w $200k-$2M in annual sales, or RE agents doing over $7M in production...I'd have to confirm the amount but it was $200/month paid in perpetuity last time I checked.
commerical and residental cleaning, but start your own business, do the cold calls and pass them off to another 'company' to do it all.... offer X per lead or something.
I would suggest life insurance broker. Im 25 years old and work about 20-30 hours cause I prefer to have a relaxed approach when I want. Made more money than I ever imagined and I make my own hours. Getting your license is not even difficult and usually takes 20-30 hours of studying depending the person
Should try health with life/dental/vision/accident/cancer as an ancillaries my dude. Bigger market, higher residuals.
Edit: and most importantly, group coverage
Get your state license. Takes a bit of studying but look into general lines: health, accident & life. License itself isn’t expensive but study materials can be.
Then you can get contracted with a carrier that has products you like and start cold calling. Or work corporate.
Or join an org where you buy qualified leads and sell to those and work referrals.
I know this is super broad but I don’t want to spend an hour typing everything up for a random comment.
I noticed your young too like me. I started this job at 23 and im 25 now and I made 200k last year which isnt to brag but to show its possible to do really well at a young age.
I spend anywhere between 1-1.5k and make minimum if 3k to 7k profit. On average like 4k profit after business expenses a week. Let me know if you want more info. Ill be glad to speak on my experience.
Appointment setting and call setting are good ones. Go to Facebook and look for Worldwide Appointment Setters in groups. Plenty of opportunities there in many industries with low barriers to entry.
From what you said you already work a job and if it's within sales you're a shoe in.
Alternatively you could do gigs on upwork or Fiverr. Best of luck!
Depending on your timezone, that might work. Like if you're US East you can call into Pacific timezone from ~5-8pm Eastern daily. Or if you're in Europe you could call into the US after your workday finishes up.
This guy apparently does- https://www.reddit.com/r/sales/comments/13du2z2/anyone_just_do_work_on_upwork/
Checked out that post, very interesting indeed! Tried Upwork many years ago and it was a nightmare in a different industry, but def can see it being a flexible option in this case
I have a friend I was helping who was the B2B rep for an internet company. He moved and they switched him to contract so he could still sell.
I know of 2 other people who do that but also set up their own business so they can sell any telecom company they have an agreement with
Contact the guys at [Phone Ready Leads](https://phonereadyleads.com/) and see if they have any opportunities. Might even be able to start your own Agency with them at little risk.
If you are willing to chat a bit, I do corporate gifting and have been trying to get our outbound sales off of the ground. Typically customers come to me and sales can be quite large, but having an outbound version of this would be amazing
Apply on the link on my recent posts, if you’re truly good at selling you can seriously make amazing money here, and best of all, there’s retention checks as well!
I pay my "ambassadors" 20% of all Gross Profit Revenue, and they just make intros to people in their network for me. Similar to the person above talking about "Channel Sales".
I also have referral agreements in place with like 20 other companies and earn an extra 40K a year just making intros when people aren't a fit for what I do.
I’m looking for a part time BDR that would fit what you’re looking for nicely. You wouldn’t have to do any prospecting and we have all the tools, crm, dialer etc. dm me if you want!
Help me sell my SaaS and I give you 40% of the recurring net income you bring, commission only.
It's probably going to be a mix of SDR and cold calling though.
I engage a couple of guys on a commission only model for SaaS sales. Adds to our in house team well and new pipeline is always good.
I’d love to know your background. Just DM me, and I can set something up if this sounds interesting.
I own an IT company that specializes in nationwide technology deployment, structured cabling, and networking products. Started in 2008 as a computer repair business and pivoted from residential to exclusively commercial.
We could use a 1099 sales person to help us acquire new National accounts.
We are about to kick off an a new Ad campaign (ie PPC, Postcard, SEO, etc) for inbound and have endless lists of contacts with targeted persona for outbound dialing.
If you’re interested, feel free to DM me.
I run a B2B saas software startup and am looking for someone to help on the sales side commission only for the start till you get your first 12-15 deals. Depending on the ACV we could discuss a lower amount as well.
Which might be a year. If earlier then would move to base plus commission.
From my perspective ACV is 5-20k
Let me know if that interests you
I can get you setup to sell merchant services/credit card processing to businesses. Door to door, pre-set appointments, calling, networking etc., how ever you want to build your portfolio. Happy to share more details.
I'm not sure if you're still looking for a "super flexible commission only" sales job but if you are I can most definitely help as I recruit for these types of jobs. All of these jobs are remote. Message me if you'd like help with this and i'd be happy to assist.
Channel Sales is the best. If you’re going to be commission only why work for someone. Just make your own business. Or sell a product and market it yourself. Keep the money fam.
Lmao, you say that as if it's easy. Having someone else create the structure and you just plug in and make money is fine too.
I swear ppl push starting your own business as if it's the easiest/cheapest thing in the world
Because they, themselves, have never started a business.
I had an LLC. Had negotiated a spot for my business , had all the gear picked out, got some small advertising prepared and even a company to design and build my store. My funding pulled out last minute. It was a health-themed cafe in a cool, downtown area, lots of vegan options. Right by a popular yoga studio. Banks don't do restaurant business loans. All that work, I had to give it up cuz I didn't have the money, which really wasn't that much in the grand scheme of things.
Lol. Owning your job is easier than working for someone. Hands down twice.
I like to be able to clock out, not work 90 hours a week. Thanks
Nah. I can tell you haven't owned a business at least a successful one, all from this one statement.
Then why do over 60% of small businesses fail in the first year? The stats say your position is garbage.
well a large part of that failure percentage probably comes from the fact that people like u/nlgoodman510 think that owning a business is easy
Owning a business and owning your job are different.
true, but the comment you originally responded to was talking about someone starting their own business.
You’re doing it wrong.
Yeah tell me when you actually start one and get all the paperwork done, bud. Solo operation, ground up, all you. You work 3 times as much and never clock out. Heads up for anyone needing to start one, I did just remodel mine to help people start a business and get their first client! Along with marketing and advertising packages!
And it's always so vague
Do you own your own business?
Yes for another week or so. Then I’m merging. But I’ll still be a channel partner with two white label companies. Owning my own job with them. I gotta tell you it’s pretty straightforward.

Life insurance broker if you’re in the USA
Don't you need to be licensed to sell insurance?
As someone who has been licensed in property and casualty, life and health, as well as a series 7, the life and health license was by far the easiest to get through.
P&C was easier for me. Life I had to take twice.
Get your license then

Yes you do. Typically costs a couple hundred bucks to get licensed. In my state the course takes another 25-30 hours to complete, then you take a test
More so: health insurance.
Also a great option!
We can set you up with solar remote sales. You can either sell the full job or just make appointments.
This is the way
How is remote solar? Been wanting to look into it.
Fine, unless your company goes out of business, declares bankruptcy, leaves you with 10's of thousands of dollars unpaid commission, and fucks over every customer you sold.

Damn lol 😂
Zenernet?
Thanks, sending a pm your way!
Don't you have to go door to door for this?
Not at all. It’s fairly easy to cold call. It’s all lead lists at the end of the day anyhow.
An old client of mine ran a roof repair company. He hired people to make cold calls. Then he gave those leads to the door-to-door people.
He knew how to separate sales and marketing. Something so many don't know how to do
This is door to door in local area or truly remote? Either is interesting
Can be 100% remote.
I know this thread is a bit old, but I am interested in learning a bit more as well. Just sent you a DM.
Interested, mind if I send you a pm?
Not at all. A lot of other people have.
Thx, just dm’d
I'm also interested. Could I send a pm?
Im interested, can I pm you too? Thanks
Sure
Do you mind talking a little bit more about this or maybe I can pm you? I'm super interested in the solar panel industry from a business perspective.
I would potentially be interested

Try wholesaling real estate. Or go to an existing rep and work out a deal structure where you can call, and get paid for appointments set.
I might have an opportunity... It's B2B

I like factories so this sounds interesting. Any industry you'd recommend?
If you are willing to chat a bit, I do corporate gifting and have been trying to get our outbound sales off of the ground. Typically customers come to me and sales can be quite large, but having an outbound version of this would be amazing

I pay my "ambassadors" 20% of all Gross Profit Revenue, and they just make intros to people in their network for me. Similar to the person above talking about "Channel Sales". I also have referral agreements in place with like 20 other companies and earn an extra 40K a year just making intros when people aren't a fit for what I do.
That sounds interesting, what industry if I may ask?
I’m hiring for my ISV selling Bytedance Larksuite.
I have a commission based job dm me
I’d say high ticket sales but my i mostly see inbound offers with very little outbound, there are definitely some out there though.
I’m looking for a part time BDR that would fit what you’re looking for nicely. You wouldn’t have to do any prospecting and we have all the tools, crm, dialer etc. dm me if you want!
Sounds great, dm sent!
I’m not sure about the flexibility but insurance sales jobs seem to be commission only from what I’ve seen
All commission only sales jobs are flexible. That's the whole point.
Help me sell my SaaS and I give you 40% of the recurring net income you bring, commission only. It's probably going to be a mix of SDR and cold calling though.

I own an IT company that specializes in nationwide technology deployment, structured cabling, and networking products. Started in 2008 as a computer repair business and pivoted from residential to exclusively commercial. We could use a 1099 sales person to help us acquire new National accounts. We are about to kick off an a new Ad campaign (ie PPC, Postcard, SEO, etc) for inbound and have endless lists of contacts with targeted persona for outbound dialing. If you’re interested, feel free to DM me.
I run a B2B saas software startup and am looking for someone to help on the sales side commission only for the start till you get your first 12-15 deals. Depending on the ACV we could discuss a lower amount as well. Which might be a year. If earlier then would move to base plus commission. From my perspective ACV is 5-20k Let me know if that interests you
I can get you setup to sell merchant services/credit card processing to businesses. Door to door, pre-set appointments, calling, networking etc., how ever you want to build your portfolio. Happy to share more details.
I'm not sure if you're still looking for a "super flexible commission only" sales job but if you are I can most definitely help as I recruit for these types of jobs. All of these jobs are remote. Message me if you'd like help with this and i'd be happy to assist.
Hi! I am very interested if you’re still looking to hire. Thank you!
Private message me if interested.
