Job Description

EXCITED TO GROW YOUR CAREER? WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE HERE! First ... what is it? The ESN is a team of entrepreneurially focused sales and account managers supporting the Maritz brand with sourcing and other event services. These independent event strategists, located throughout the 50 U.S. states and District of Columbia, design and implement meeting and incentive solutions for our customers across industries in key markets around the world.

The following states/territories/countries are excluded for residence: California, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Puerto Rico, and any countries outside of the US.

We offer a business opportunity for experienced hospitality sales and meeting-planning professionals seeking the independence and rewards of running your own business, while at the same time offering innovative solutions for your customers. You succeed by tapping into the rich resources of our organization. Discovering what works, what differentiates, and what does not work is essential to accelerating your personal objectives. Every step of the way, you have someone ready to respond and help you stay on track, while also giving you the independence you desire.

Sure, you need compelling products and services, but how can you succeed without tools and resources that truly set you apart? A quick glance at our website will show you that we have solutions for almost anyone who conducts meetings with 10 or more people. What differentiates you from day one? You work for yourself, but to achieve financial success you need to sell and retain your accounts. Traditional tasks include:

• New account identification, development, and solicitation.

• Initiation, compilation, and presentation of site selection recommendations to prospective clients.

• Sales proposal development, presentation, and client negotiations.

• Initiation and negotiation of applicable hotel and meeting facility contracts.

• Account management and administration.

This is a commission based, independent contractor opportunity!
