A background in hospitality or the restaurant industry is a major plus. Those environments often build the exact strengths this role requires: reading people well, understanding body language, staying composed under pressure, delivering great customer service, and creating genuine connections with clients, partners, and prospects. Performance Focus The primary focus of this role is to help generate qualified business opportunities by setting and preparing meetings for the Publisher. The expectation is to set 10 to 15 qualified meetings per week, with 15 meetings per week being the ideal target, while also supporting administrative tasks, follow‑up, client communication, and marketing coordination. On average, the performance expectation is that 3 to 5 deals per week may close from the meetings that are booked, depending on meeting quality and overall performance. Compensation This is a 1099 independent contractor role. Traditional employee benefits such as health insurance, paid time off, and other standard benefits are not offered. Compensation is performance‑driven and uncapped, meaning the amount you earn is directly tied to the number of meetings you set and the amount of business that closes from those meetings. Compensation includes: $10 per qualified meeting set Expected production: 10 to 15 meetings per week Ideal target: 15 meetings per week Commission paid every two weeks on closed deals from meetings you book: $100 for each 1‑year contract $200 for each 2‑year contract $300 for each 3‑year contract Compensation Example If you set 15 meetings in one week, you would earn $150 in meeting‑based pay. If 5 of those meetings close, and all 5 are 3‑year contracts, that would equal: 5 closed deals x $300 = $1,500 in bonus/commission income for that week That would be in addition to the meeting‑based pay. This role is designed for someone who is motivated by results and excited by the opportunity to grow their income based on performance. There is strong earning potential for someone who is organized, consistent, and confident in outreach.
