About Picture Pros Photography
Picture Pros Photography is a growing youth sports photography company that works at tournaments and live events across the country.
We are hiring dependable and competitive Photography Sales Representatives to photograph organized team photos, distribute ordering materials, speak directly with parents, and generate sales during weekend events.
This is not a photography only position. Taking strong team photos is an important part of the job, but the primary focus of the role is customer interaction and sales.
The Role
As a Photography Sales Representative, you will organize and photograph youth sports teams, distribute photo proofs or ordering materials, approach parents, explain available products, and help customers complete their purchases.
You will be expected to work efficiently, communicate clearly, remain professional, and take ownership of your individual performance.
What You Will Do
- Organize and position youth sports teams for group photos
- Direct athletes and coaches clearly and efficiently
- Capture sharp, properly exposed, professional team images
- Distribute photo proofs or ordering materials to assigned teams
- Approach parents and begin sales conversations
- Explain available photo products, packages, and pricing
- Help customers complete their orders
- Track assigned teams, photos, ordering materials, and sales activity
- Communicate with your Event Manager throughout the event
- Assist with setup, breakdown, loading, printing, and general event operations when needed
- Represent Picture Pros professionally at all times
This Role Is Primarily Sales
Photography is an important part of the position, but taking the photo is only the beginning.
Your main responsibility is turning strong team photos into completed sales.
You must be comfortable:
- Approaching parents instead of waiting for them to come to you
- Starting conversations with people you do not know
- Explaining the value of our products confidently
- Asking customers to complete their purchase
- Handling rejection professionally
- Maintaining energy throughout long event days
- Taking responsibility for your results
Candidates looking for a photography only role may not be a good fit for this position.
Compensation
Picture Pros offers performance based compensation.
Contractors who attend and complete all assigned days of a qualifying full event may be eligible for a $375 minimum event protection amount.
The minimum event protection amount is not paid in addition to commission.
You will receive the applicable minimum event protection or your earned commission, whichever is greater.
Example:
If your earned commission is $300, you may receive the $375 minimum event protection amount.
If your earned commission is $500, you may receive $500.
Commission is based on qualifying sales and the responsibilities assigned to you during the event.
Leaving early, arriving late, missing an assigned day, failing to complete responsibilities, or not following company procedures may result in reduced compensation or removal from future assignments.
Complete compensation details and performance expectations will be reviewed during onboarding.
Performance Expectations
Picture Pros operates in a performance based environment.
Performance may be measured by:
- Completion of assigned team photos
- Number of teams successfully photographed
- Distribution of ordering materials
- Reliability and attendance
- Following company procedures
Specific performance and conversion standards will be explained during onboarding and before assigned events.
Contractors who repeatedly fail to meet communicated expectations may not be offered additional assignments.
