Sales & Market Development Lead - Outside Sales

About the Role: This is a hands-on sales role first. You’ll spend most of your time in the field meeting local business owners, building relationships, introducing Evoque Loop, and selling advertising campaigns across our active markets. But this is also more than a traditional sales-rep position. As our first dedicated sales lead, you’ll help shape how Evoque sells, how opportunities are tracked, how new markets are launched, and eventually how a larger sales team is built. Your immediate mission is simple: Fill Smithville, La Grange, and Bastrop with great local advertisers, then help us repeat that process as the network expands.

What You’ll Do: Prospect local businesses throughout active Evoque markets Meet directly with business owners and decision-makers Introduce Evoque Loop and explain our advertising opportunities Sell local and multi-market advertising campaigns Follow up consistently and close new business Build long-term advertiser relationships and renewals Maintain an organized sales pipeline Coordinate completed sales with Evoque’s creative and operations teams Identify opportunities for sponsorships, expanded campaigns, and additional markets Help refine Evoque’s sales process, messaging, and objection handling Provide feedback on pricing and promotional offers Support new market launches as Evoque expands Help establish sales standards and pipeline discipline Potentially help recruit and lead additional sales representatives as revenue supports growth Who We’re Looking For You may be a good fit if you: Are comfortable walking into a local business and starting a conversation Have strong people skills and enjoy relationship-based selling Are self-directed and motivated without constant supervision Follow up when you say you will Are comfortable asking for the sale Understand local business owners and how they make buying decisions Enjoy outside sales and creating your own opportunities Want flexibility, but still take your work seriously Like the idea of helping build something from the ground floor Experience in outside sales, advertising, media, telecom, merchant services, home services, sponsorship sales, or local business development is helpful, but initiative, credibility, and sales ability matter more than a particular résumé.Compensation This is a commission-based position with uncapped upside.

Compensation will include: Commission on new advertiser revenue Recurring/residual compensation on qualifying retained accounts Performance incentives tied to market growth and advertising inventory occupancy No earnings cap As Evoque’s recurring revenue grows, this role is intended to grow with it. For the right person, the opportunity is to become the person who owns the broader sales function as Evoque scales, with the potential for a more traditional sales leadership compensation structure over time. Schedule 15–25 hours per week minimum The schedule is flexible, but most selling happens during normal weekday business hours when local business owners and decision-makers are available. This is primarily a field-based outside-sales role serving Bastrop and Fayette County and surrounding Central Texas markets. What Evoque Provides Active advertising inventory Existing host locations and growing market presence Professional sales collateral Rate cards and promotional offers Creative/design support for advertisers Marketing and community-partnership support Warm opportunities generated through hosts, Chambers, networking, and company marketing Direct access to company leadership Significant input into how the sales organization is built You’ll be selling a real network that is already operating and expanding. This May Not Be the Right Fit If...This probably isn’t for you if you: Need a guaranteed hourly wage or salary immediately Dislike prospecting or outside sales Expect all leads to be handed to you Need a highly structured corporate environment Aren’t comfortable working in an early-stage business Are looking for a passive side gig rather than a real sales opportunity But if you’re comfortable creating opportunities, building relationships, and helping build the sales engine of a growing local-media company, we’d like to meet you.

How to Apply: Tell us a little about your sales background and why this opportunity interests you. We’re especially interested in hearing how you would approach a local business owner who has never heard of Evoque Loop and start that conversation. Evoque Loop Stay in the Loop.
