declutterd is looking for motivated, energetic, relentless, and Seasonal Saturday Market Sales Representative to join our team.

Fall and Holiday season is finally here and we are so excited to sell some candles!!! We are a small but rapidly growing candle company and this season we're looking to take it to the next level and spread our brand across Dallas - Fort Worth and beyond. 

As a Seasonal Saturday Market Sales Representative, your main job is to attend craft markets on behalf of declutterd and sell candles. This position has both a base pay and a 10% commission structure based on the Net Sales (Sales after discounts and taxes) from the market if you do it SOLO. If you work the markets with another person, you will not receive commission and only the hourly rate. This position is mostly for SOLO markets for this Fall + Winter Season. This job is a perfect entry-level job for anyone who is motivated, doesn’t mind doing the gritty work and getting your hands dirty. Since you have to set up everything yourself, you will have to go to the set up area around an hour before the market starts, move all the equipment and inventory (candles boxes which is around 50 pounds), set up the tents and tables, and break down the markets when you’re leaving. We will provide all the equipment needed (like carts and trolleys)

The potential payout for SOLO markets can range in total (including base pay) to come out between $20-$60/hour depending on the market location, duration and season. Now that it's Fall and Holiday season, the payout should be great.

The schedule for this position is MOST SATURDAYS FROM OCTOBER TO MARCH with possibility of expansion into the summer into a more permanent position.

HOW MARKETS WORK
- declutterd participates in many craft markets all year long. Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall all have markets that people shop candles from. We send 1 market representative to each market and have them set up, process orders, and break down.
- Our candle studio is based in Carrollton, TX. This is where you will be picking up and dropping off inventory. We record how many candles you started with and how many you came back with to make sure everything matches the sales (to ensure proper checks and balances)

IMPORTANT
- This position is not difficult but it will be hard on your body. You will sweat a lot, be tired, and stand in the sun when it's hot and be in the cold when it's cold. But it is well worth it, rewarding, and lucrative if you have a good market. 
- This role is a LABOR-INTENSIVE ROLE and will require lots of lifting, pushing, pulling, etc.

• You will be a brand representative of declutterd during these markets and will be evaluated based on market performance, timeliness, and attendance. We understand that stuff happens, and sometimes you can’t make a market. HOWEVER, there will only be 1 or 2 times that we will let this slide depending on the reason. This is because attendance/timeliness for markets is crucial for the brand+event organizer relationship, as well as us having to pay a non-refundable vendor fee.

Pay Structure
