I think this independent contractor position with The Math Worksheet Site will be of interest to those of you who are considering staying home with your family and still trying to bring in an income. If you have a good strong sales background I'm sure it would help you gain this position, but I really like that Denise and Scott Bryce, the company owners who posted this job listing, are looking more for folks with ethics who are trainable, rather than basing it all on sales numbers.
Give their job listing a read-over and if it sounds like something up your alley, be sure to drop them a line! Let me know if you get hired on and how it works out for you!
It’s time to grow our business to the next level. Word-of-mouth has been spreading news of our product fairly well, but it’s time to open a sales rep program.
Who are we?
We are The Math Worksheet Site, which is both a web site that is the brainchild of Scott Bryce, and also the name of the company co-owned by Scott and Denise Bryce. The Math Worksheet Site began as a hobby more than 9 years ago and became a business in March of 2004.
What is The Math Worksheet Site?
With The Math Worksheet Site you can create an endless supply of math worksheets. The intuitive interface gives you the ability to easily customize each worksheet to target your student’s specific needs. Every worksheet is created when you request it, so they are different every time. The Math Worksheet Site is not a collection of worksheets. It is a web site that creates the worksheets you want when you want them according to the criteria you specify.
This way you can add the drill that your student needs to a curriculum you already like, or you can be freed from the constraints of a workbook or textbook that gives either too much or too little practice if you’d rather direct the studies yourself.
How does the sales rep program work?
This sales rep program is for specifically targeting schools, both public and private. Reps work within geographic territories. Territories will be expanded for enthusiastic and productive salespeople. We pay on a straight commission basis. Salespeople get credit for a sale if all three of these conditions occur: 1) the salesperson did a demonstration (even if over the phone), 2) the school is in their territory and 3) the school subscribes to our service. Therefore if the salesperson didn’t actually close the sale, but instead a school signed up later online, the salesperson will still get the credit. (The worker is worthy of his wages.)
What has been the sales experience thus far?
The Math Worksheet Site is “priced to sell” as the lingo says. After people learn just how robust and flexible our service is, when they learn our price, they usually say, “That’s nothing!” I spent a couple of months selling specifically to schools in my area. I first got a recommendation from a district math department head and his name opened many doors. Then I found that when I was able to demonstrate the product to the principal and/or teachers, I had 93% success in closing a sale (specifically, 14 out of 15 schools) Those are really good numbers in the world of sales!
Is training provided?
Yes, training is provided, usually via telephone.
Do I need to be a real computer geek to sell The Math Worksheet Site?
No. We believe in simplicity. The site is simple to navigate, simple to use and simple to demonstrate. You do need to be quite familiar with the site, in order to answer questions about specific topics covered, “Is such-and-such on the site?”
Do I have to be a math whiz to sell The Math Worksheet Site?
You need to have enough mathematics knowledge to be conversant about the topics covered on the site. Since most topics covered on the site are taught in K-8, the primary market will be elementary schools. You don’t need to be a math major or be able to do calculus. You should be comfortable discussing K-6 level math with elementary school teachers and principals, and not be totally lost if a basic algebra topic is mentioned.
Can the reps earn residual income?
Yes. If the rep contacts the school within 90 days preceding the renewal date, the rep earns credit for the subscription renewal.
Who can qualify to be a sales rep for The Math Worksheet Site?
Because the rep program itself is still in the building process, character, integrity, and good communication skills are more important to us than actual sales experience. We need quick and honest feedback from the reps when we contemplate policy or paperwork changes. And we welcome suggestions also, especially if they’re tactfully phrased.
