Membership Sales Representative

Overview

Join the Voice of Small Business: Elite Outside Sales Advocate

Do you want a career that impacts your community, your state, and our nation?

NFIB is looking for the rare professional who combines the heart of a servant-leader with the drive of a high-stakes closer. Our most successful team members are more than sales reps—they are former business owners, military instructors, community leaders...those who understand that small business is the backbone of the American dream. Think of this as an in-field work environment where you're not tied to an office location. Instead, your office is the work area you serve. Approximately 95% of your time will be spent in the field within your local market, meeting face-to-face with small business owners and growing NFIB membership. 

Why NFIB?

Named one of Glassdoor's Top 50 Best Place to Work, NFIB offers more than a job; we offer a mission. We also provide paid training, full benefits, and an uncapped commission & bonus plan that top-tier professionals crave. Whether you are a seasoned closer or a high-achiever looking to pivot your career, we provide best-in-class training to ensure your success.
