Position Description: The incoming Online Marketing Consultant for the Better Business Bureau will be called upon to use your dynamic personality, proven track record of achievement and sales ability in an existing market to generate the use of the BBB Search Engine Solution, (SES), marketing platform. As such, the OMC will be called upon to be a leader in a sales/performance-based organization and culture that has grown rapidly in the past few years.

The position is one in which technology meets marketing but is 100% sales in nature. The OMC reports directly to the CEO, and works in concert to adapt this new position and program for success. This role calls for a skill set that goes well beyond the traditional sales profile to create excitement in the office and territory throughout which the BBB is recognized as a major force in the marketplace. The BBB is looking for a tactful but aggressive sales person with the confidence, passion and hunger necessary to help build a robust SES and other web product program.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Proven ability to build sales knowledge that can tell the BBB story from the beginning and effectively sell a complex solution in very simple terms.

Compensation-

$1,200 per month base salary, or $600 per pay period
15% commission on all new sales income collected each month
7% commission on all renewal income collected each month

Based on other BBBs’ track records, the OMC should have no trouble generating $14,000 per month in new sales. At that level of performance, this position would earn $39,600. The average income generated per month by an OMC in the BBB system is $20,800, and at that level of production, the OMC would earn $51,840. Of course, this is not a tested program in this area, but the potential is awesome!
