Sales Representative

About Ellis Career & Talent 

Ellis Career & Talent is a people‑first HR consulting and talent acquisition company serving small and midsize businesses nationwide. We provide outsourced HR support, recruiting‑as‑a‑service, and employee development solutions that help organizations build stronger teams, improve retention, and scale confidently. 

As a fast‑growing startup, we're building a modern, efficient sales engine powered by verified daily leads, streamlined outreach systems, and high‑value service offerings. Every team member plays a direct role in shaping our growth and expanding our nationwide footprint. 

About the Role 

Ellis Career & Talent is hiring multiple motivated, results‑driven sales closers to join our team at the ground floor. This commission‑only, 1099 independent contractor role is designed for individuals who thrive in a fast‑moving startup environment and want uncapped earning potential. 

You'll work directly with verified leads provided daily — connecting with small‑business owners and decision‑makers who have already been qualified for outreach. This role focuses on relationship‑building, consultative selling, and closing deals rather than heavy cold calling or manual lead generation. 

If you're driven, resourceful, and ready to help scale a growing company, this position offers a rare opportunity to shape our sales department and grow alongside a nationwide expansion. 

What You'll Do 

• Run the full sales cycle from lead engagement pitching closing 

• Work-verified leads are provided daily through our internal outreach system 

• Conduct follow‑ups and maintain consistent communication with prospects 

• Build relationships with small‑business owners and HR decision‑makers 

• Use scripts, templates, and outreach tools to maximize conversions 

• Help refine sales processes and messaging for better performance 

• Collaborate directly with the Founder/CEO to improve sales strategy 

• Track activity, pipeline, and performance metrics independently 

Compensation Structure (Commission‑Only) 

Compensation 

This position is a 100% commission‑only role with no base salary or hourly pay. Sales Representatives are hired as 1099 independent contractors and earn commission when clients complete payment for services. 

Earning Potential 

Commission rates range from 30% to 40%, depending on the service sold, with opportunities to earn high‑ticket commissions on HR and Talent Acquisition packages. Monthly renewal bonuses are also available for long‑term clients. 

Payouts 

Commission is released upon payment of the client's final invoice. Payments are sent electronically on a biweekly schedule. 

Who This Compensation Model Fits 

This structure is ideal for high‑drive closers who want uncapped earning potential, thrive in a startup environment, and prefer working with verified leads rather than cold calling.

• Resilient, resourceful, and ready to grow with the company 

• A strong communicator who can build trust quickly 

If you thrive in structured corporate environments, this role will not be a fit.

• Strong closing ability 

• Comfortable working with verified leads and managing follow‑ups 

• Ability to work independently
