I thought this role had a lot of potential, but overall, due to the commission only model, there are a lot of other "fees" that dilute this. The end take home is a lot less for the work you do.

The company takes half of your commission, without offering any leads or doing any work. That's a win for them no matter what,  because they have no overhead costs, just incoming revenue when you do the work and get the clients. The be clear, you have to generate 100% of your own business, but you only get paid 50% of your commission for doing all the work. 

After losing half the commission to the company, all the business expenses (cell phone, office supplies, everything you use and need) as an independent contractor, the take home is less than many jobs, and it comes with no benefits at all (healthcare, etc.). 


There are people in the company who have been around for so long, they've either bought into the system or they're just playing along to keep things looking good. Some of them might be doing okay because they got in early and now have a strong list of clients, but for the rest of us, it's not a viable long-term gig.
The company's set up a system where they can coast on our hard work. They take a whopping 50% commission just for having their name associated with our sales. Sure, brand recognition has value, but when they're not lifting a finger to help us and then taking such a big cut?  They don't advertise their services, they don't generate leads, nada. That's not cool.
To make matters worse, some people who work there guilt-trip us to attend the annual meetings or other group meetings where we have to cover our own travel costs. They're making bank while we're left footing the bill basically. 

HelmsBriscoe is a wonderful company to work with for those who are self-motivated, hard working and have lots of grit!  You make exactly what you put into your job, and there are no caps to what kind of money that you can make.  There are many HB Regional VP's and fellow representatives that are always willing to help out and HB provides you with all the tools that you need to get started.  It may be best to have at least a PT job or a second source of income until you build up your client base.  Also, there are no benefits as you are self employed.  Great for anyone that wants to work for themselves and teaches you to be financially responsible! 

If you have benefits from a spouse or significant other and have no dire health issues then this may the opportunity for you after 10+ years in hospitality sales.  Company has some support for accounting, marketing and IT however this is a 100% commission ONLY role whereby you are DRIVER of the car.  No quotas or market segments or issues with an account management system in place however loosely monitored.  BE WARE that top producers will take precendence over New Associates when there is a conflict.  You can work from home and should seek advice often from a trusted CPA on financial matters so you can keep your taxes in line as they are not withheld.

If you like flexibility, this position is for you. It is a commission only role, with no benefits. You own your own business, good or bad. You are the determining factor of whether or not you succeed. They do have a decent onboarding process and training. You just have to be willing to not make an income for a while until you start generating business.  It can be done, it just might be difficult. 

I am loving working with HelmsBriscoe.  They provide me with everything to be successful in my pursuits.  Being a home based business, my time is flexible.  I am learning event planning and the ins and outs of the hotel industry.  My up-line in the company are very interested in my success and very supportive.  The most difficult part of the job is the cold call but once you are able to explain your purpose and what you have to offer, they are happy you found them.  HelmsBriscoe and the hotel industry offer many perks account managers to help promote their industry expertise.

This company is excellent! I really enjoyed the opportunity to work with them. However, I will be receiving my Bachelors in Hospitality Management very soon and would like to see where my new skills can take me. HelemsBriscoe is extremely supportive and offers a great deal of training and every opportunity to succeed. However, I need a more full time type of employment.

As a Global Account Manager for HelmsBriscoe, I help my clients find the best venues at the best possible price. I started my career working for the Baltimore CVB as an Executive Assistant and then going to work in the hospitality industry, starting as a Sales Coordinator, eventually becoming a Sales Manager for Hilton Worldwide and Starwood Hotels. Having extensive experience as both a supplier and buyer, I bring a unique perspective and value to my clients in meeting planning and hospitality management.

Helmsbriscoe offers the opportunity for meeting planners to work as little or as much as they prefer to fit their lifestyle. The company offers ongoing training and support for those people wanting to excel in Helmsbriscoe's business model. Associated must be self-starters with the ability to create their own client base and manage their accounts.
