Sales Representative (Salary plus Commission)


Our company is searching for entry-level sales representatives to drive revenues for our world-class business conferences and sell-out live events. Worldwide Business Research (WBR) has over 120 annual events in operation, and we are looking to expand the attendee acquisition team to support new launches and repeat events.

Door-to-door sales, retail sales, or call center experience is a plus.

This is an inside telesales position that requires a high volume of cold calling into mid-level managers up to C-level executives in various industries — from finance to eCommerce to procurement. Your primary responsibility is to sell attendee passes or event tickets for our corporate events and also be an account manager for your clients ahead of the event.

Our training program will teach you everything you need to know about buy-side sales for business conferences so that you can not only earn a considerable amount of money but also move up within the organization to senior sales or sales management positions.
