If you're looking for an opportunity with uncapped earning potential and a high-margin service you can sell to your existing network, we'd like to hear from you.

About the Opportunity

We are a specialized market research data operations provider focused on survey programming, advanced survey logic, data cleaning, and secure survey hosting using the industry-leading Decipher platform.

We are seeking an Independent B2B Sales Representative to identify, develop, and close new business for survey programming and hosting projects.

This is a 100% remote, commission-only independent contractor (1099) position. It is particularly well suited for an experienced sales professional who already has relationships within the market research, consulting, marketing agency, or corporate insights industries.

What You'll Do

• Own the Sales Cycle: Manage the process from cold outreach and initial conversations through proposal, negotiation, and closing.
• Build Client Relationships: Develop long-term relationships with clients and identify opportunities for repeat business.
• Understand Client Needs: Learn the client's survey requirements, including questionnaire length, programming complexity, routing logic, and data-delivery requirements.
• Present Our Services: Communicate the value of our survey programming, data operations, and hosting capabilities to prospective clients.

Compensation

This is a 100% commission-only independent contractor position. There is no base salary or hourly wage.

Estimated annual commission earning potential: $40,000–$95,000+, based on project volume, with uncapped earning potential.

Our commission structure includes:

• 25% base commission on eligible programming and hosting revenue from closed deals.
• 30%–33% accelerated commission tiers when monthly volume milestones are achieved.
• 15% residual commission on repeat business from your accounts for the first 12 months.
• Fast payouts: Commission is distributed within 10 business days after the client's invoice has cleared.

Commissionable revenue includes programming, survey logic setup, data tabs, and hosting infrastructure. Third-party panel/respondent sample costs are excluded from commission calculations.

What We're Looking For

• 2–3+ years of B2B sales, outbound prospecting, or business development experience.
• Existing relationships or a strong professional network in market research, consulting, marketing agencies, corporate insights, or related industries is highly desirable.
• Basic familiarity with the quantitative market research lifecycle, including questionnaires, survey programming/logic, and data delivery such as SPSS or Excel.
• Demonstrated ability to independently prospect, develop opportunities, and close business.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently as a 1099 contractor.
• Experience selling SaaS, digital agency services, market research services, or professional services is highly preferred.

Why This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to add a specialized, high-margin service to your existing B2B sales portfolio without the limitations of a traditional salaried sales role.

You control your prospecting activity, pipeline, and earning potential, with no cap on commissions and additional residual income from repeat business generated from your accounts.
