Membership Sales Representative

Why This Role Matters

Small business owners face real challenges—rising costs, regulation, uncertainty. As an NFIB Membership Sales Representative, you'll be the human connection that invites them into a national movement advocating on their behalf. Every conversation you have helps give small businesses a stronger voice at the state and federal level. This is face-to-face, community-based work. You'll meet owners where they are, share NFIB's impact, and invite them to become part of something that protects their livelihood.

Responsibilities

• Engage directly with small business owners through in-person prospecting (no appointment setting)
• Deliver NFIB's proven, 5-minute sales presentation with confidence, authenticity, and urgency
• Build fast rapport and communicate NFIB's mission clearly and compellingly
• Address objections and close membership enrollments in one visit
• Process membership payments on the spot

This is a hunter/closer role with a clear, structured sales model and no account management after the sale—allowing you to stay focused on impact and results.

Qualifications

• Mission-driven and passionate about small business success
• Self-starters with grit, resilience, and a strong work ethic
• Coachable and willing to follow a proven sales process
• Quick thinkers who adapt well in live conversations
• Motivated by growth, learning, and performance-based rewards

Sales experience is helpful—but not required. Many of our top performers came from other fields and brought transferable skills, hustle, and heart.

Benefits

• W-2 position with full benefits (medical, dental, vision, matching 401(k), and more) — eligible after 30 days
• Up to 13 weeks of performance-based training pay ($1,000/week or commission, whichever is greater)
• Weekly commission payouts plus monthly and quarterly bonuses
• Uncapped earning potential (straight commission)
• Monthly mileage reimbursement

Pay

• Average annual compensation: $80,000-$200,000
• 40% of the sales force earns six figures; top 10% exceed $200,000
