Independent Sales Representative (Commission-Only)
The Marketing Clerics is a small, faith-led marketing company in Hastings, Minnesota. We run done-for-you email marketing that brings a contractor's past customers back: one personalized email a month plus an automated follow-up system, built on the Housecall Pro or ServiceTitan data the shop already has. Electrical, HVAC, and plumbing owners are our buyers.
We're adding 3 to 5 independent sales reps. This is a 1099 independent contractor role, paid on commission only. There is no base salary.
What you'd sell
The Stewardship Program: a $3,500 build fee that covers month one, then $1,299/month for months 2 to 12, or $15,000 paid in full. Shops qualify with Housecall Pro MAX or ServiceTitan and 500+ past customers. A $599 one-send trial is available for owners who want a first step. The trial itself pays no commission; you're paid if it converts to a signed contract.
Pay (commission-only)
- Close commission: 50% of the build fee ($1,750 at today's price), paid in three parts as the client pays: 50% when the build fee clears, 25% at the month-2 payment, 25% at the month-4 payment.
- Residual: 15% of the monthly fee for months 2 to 12 ($194.85/month per client at today's price), paid on fees collected.
- Renewals: 10% of the monthly fee when a client signs a new 12-month contract.
- Pay-in-full clients: 25% of the upfront price ($3,750 at today's price).
- Milestone bonuses: $500 at your 5th client, $1,000 at your 10th, $2,000 at your 20th, then $2,000 every 10 clients.
- Commissions are paid within 3 business days of the client's payment clearing, with a statement.

Who this is for
- US-based reps with 5+ years selling to electrical, HVAC, or plumbing owners
- You've worked commission-only before and have an active book of business
- You run your own sales business and want a recurring-income line to add to what you carry
- You sell with integrity: no pressure and no promised results
How it works
You keep your other clients and lines. The only restriction is not carrying a competing customer-reactivation or email marketing line. You set your own hours and methods, with no quotas or daily reports. The first term is a 90-day pilot for both sides.
We're a Christian company. In practice, that means honest pricing and telling owners the truth, even when it costs us the deal.
