DESCRIPTION

At Work Heights, we deeply value our local roots and the eclectic nature of the membership that brings. The Sales Associate position requires a passion for Brooklyn and the people who make it what it is. As the customer's first contact with Work Heights, your job is to engage the customer on an intimate tour of our space, and more importantly to connect with them and listen to what they need. After you’ve heard them, you demonstrate how our spaces work and sign them up for the membership that fits their needs. The job requires an eye for presentation, emotive language, conversational engagement, and a casual sense of humor. This job is for the extroverted, performer types. You should be a curious person and like meeting new people. A positive attitude and energy are required. In the past, writers, performers, and community-minded people have all been great at this job.

SCHEDULE

The role is part-time and requires 2.5 hours of availability per business day, (roughly 40-50 hours per month.) to give tours that are scheduled in predefined windows of time, by our customers. This is done via the Work Heights website and a scheduling system. Your hours will be regular each week and at a mix of our locations.

SALARY + COMMISSION

The salesperson's base pay is an hourly rate of $37/hour plus a monthly commission based on the close rate of the employee. A normal schedule will include 12.5 hours of available tour slots per week or roughly 50 hours per month. This calculates the monthly base salary at $1,850, (paid bi-weekly).

The commission is based on your ability to win new members, (Close Rate). We’ll share how this works if we decide to interview you. However, as an example, an employee working 44 hours each month can expect to make an average of $2500 per month or $50 per hour. For higher performers, we offer further incentives and from time to time we will incentivize the sales team with extra bonuses based on short and long-term team targets and competitions.

REQUIREMENTS

Smart Phone and a laptop. Clear communication abilities in person and by email. This is an on-site role and requires you to be in Brooklyn at our locations during your work hours, 5 days a week. US Citizenship, or a visa that allows you to work in the USA. This is a part-time job, however, it’s not a short-term job. On average our salespeople stay with us for 1-1.5 years. If you’re looking for something short-term, please do not apply.
