Independent Sales Rep - Carolina Territory
Arcadian Outfitters | "Love Where You Live" 1099 Independent Contractor | Commission Only
Arcadian Outfitters is a wholesale headwear brand built around state pride. We sell through ~1,100 independent retail accounts across the western U.S. -- gas stations, convenience stores, hardware stores, grocery outlets, and country stores. Our compact in-store display program delivers high margins and low maintenance for retailers.
We're looking for a self-motivated independent sales rep to build and own the North/South Carolina territory.
What You'll Do
- Prospect and open new retail accounts across North/South Carolina (target: 4+ new accounts per month)
- Pitch and place our compact hat display in high-traffic retail locations
- Maintain relationships with your accounts through regular check-ins (minimum twice per year per store)
- Review third-party merchandising visit reports and place reorders through our online portal
- Capture before/after photos during store visits and keep clean records
Compensation
- 20% commission on all revenue from new accounts you open (initial order)
- 5% commission on all reorders from your accounts
- Commissions paid after customer payment is received
- Guaranteed sales program: credits and returns are reconciled against commissions
- No cap on earnings. Your territory is yours to build.
Who Does Well in This Role
- People who already call on convenience stores, gas stations, hardware stores, or grocery in North/South Carolina
- Route-based sales experience (doesn't have to be headwear -- could be snacks, impulse products, DSD, gifts, accessories)
- Comfortable working independently with minimal oversight
- Reliable vehicle and willingness to cover rural and small-town North/South Carolina
- Basic comfort with online ordering portals and email
What We Provide
- Product at wholesale
- Compact displays shipped directly to stores
- Third-party merchandising team handles routine in-store servicing
- Online ordering portal for easy reorders
- Sales support from our National Sales Manager
About Arcadian
We make state-pride apparel that represent the places people love. Our retailers range from single-location country stores to regional chains.
