Commission-Based Sales & Business Development Representative.

World Options | Self-Employed | Commission Only | Remote Working - UK based with face to face training provided at World Options Head Office in Accrington
Build your own income by helping businesses save on shipping
I’m looking for a proactive, resilient and commercially minded individual to help grow a World Options shipping business.
World Options provides an online shipping portal that allows businesses to compare prices from different courier companies and choose the most suitable shipping service at a competitive price.
Your role will be to identify potential customers, introduce them to the portal and help businesses find better shipping solutions.
The role
You will be responsible for:
* Finding potential customers, including eBay, Amazon and Etsy sellers, online retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers and importers/exporters.
* Researching businesses and identifying decision-makers.
* Contacting prospects by telephone, email and other appropriate business channels.
* Introducing businesses to the World Options portal and explaining its benefits.
* Following up on leads and developing customer relationships.
* Turning prospects into active shipping customers.
Who we’re looking for
E-commerce or shipping experience would be an advantage, but it isn’t essential. I’m interested in someone with the right attitude, determination and willingness to learn.
You should be:
* Resilient: able to handle rejection and keep going when things don’t work out.
* Willing to learn from mistakes: able to reflect, adapt your approach and improve rather than give up.
* Proactive: comfortable finding opportunities and taking the initiative.
* Resourceful: willing to research businesses, try different approaches and solve problems.
* Confident communicating: able to approach businesses professionally and build relationships.
* Self-motivated: capable of organising your own work and maintaining momentum.
Experience in e-commerce, courier services, shipping, sales, telesales or business development is welcome, but the right mindset matters more than having done this exact job before.
Commission structure
This is a self-employed, commission-only opportunity with no fixed salary.
* First 5 customers: 40% commission.
* Next 5 customers (customers 6–10): 45% commission.
* Next 5 customers (customers 11–15): 50% commission.
Commission will be calculated against the agreed commissionable shipping margin generated by customers you bring into the business. The commission terms, including payment arrangements and ongoing commission eligibility, will be confirmed in writing before starting.
The commission structure will be reviewed and renegotiated by mutual agreement at the end of the initial 30-day trial period, taking into account progress, results and the future direction of the business. Any revised terms will be agreed in writing before taking effect.
There is no guaranteed income. Earnings depend on the customers you acquire and the shipping activity they generate.
Working arrangements
* Remote working from home.
* Flexible working arrangements.
* Initial 30-day trial period, with a review of progress and suitability.
* Opportunity to build a customer base and develop ongoing commission income.
The role is intended for a genuinely self-employed individual, subject to the actual working arrangement meeting applicable legal requirements.
Interested?
Send a brief introduction outlining any relevant experience, why the opportunity appeals to you and how you would approach finding new customers.
I’m looking for someone who doesn’t expect everything to work first time, but who is prepared to learn, adapt, persevere and improve.
If you’re resourceful, resilient and motivated to build something through your own efforts, I’d love to hear from you.
