Bretz RV & Marine is seeking experienced sales professionals to join our team as Seasonal Show Salespersons. This is a seasonal, W-2, commission-based role focused exclusively on representing Bretz at assigned RV and marine tradeshows.
Seasonal Show Salespersons sell recreational vehicles, boats, and marine products directly to customers at assigned show events. This position works under the direction of the Show Manager and is designed for individuals who are comfortable selling in a high-energy, event-based environment.
This role is specific to assigned tradeshow events and does not include regular dealership floor coverage, dealership-based sales work, or non-show assignments.
Compensation: This is a commission-based sales role. Seasonal Show Salespersons earn commission based on the sale of recreational vehicles and/or marine products at assigned Bretz RV & Marine tradeshows.
Actual earnings will vary based on individual sales performance, customer traffic, inventory availability, the number of tradeshows worked, and the overall length of the season.
Full compensation details, including commission structure, payment timing, and applicable terms, will be outlined in the Seasonal Show Salesperson Pay Plan Agreement provided at hire.
Show Schedule and Season : The show season is expected to run approximately January through September, depending on the final event calendar.
Assigned shows, dates, locations, and attendance expectations will be reviewed in advance with the Show Manager. The schedule is subject to change based on event availability, business needs, added shows, canceled shows, or date changes.
This position requires flexibility, as tradeshow schedules may include weekends, multi-day events, travel days, and overnight stays.
Travel and Lodging: Travel is required for assigned show events.
The goal is for Bretz RV & Marine to coordinate and arrange approved lodging and travel in advance whenever possible. If an employee is required to personally pay for approved show-related travel or lodging due to timing, late assignment, travel disruption, or other business-related circumstances, eligible expenses may be reimbursed in accordance with company guidelines.
The exact travel coordination and reimbursement process will be reviewed internally and communicated during onboarding.
