Independent Contractor Relationship

This opportunity is structured as an independent-contractor engagement rather than employment.

The contractor will retain discretion over the manner, methods, schedule and location used to perform services, subject to customer requirements, scheduled meetings, agreed deadlines, conference schedules and applicable contractual requirements.

The contractor will not be required to work designated daily hours and will be responsible for organizing and managing their prospecting and business-development activities.

The relationship is intended to be nonexclusive. Subject to confidentiality, conflicts-of-interest and other contractual obligations, contractors may provide services to other businesses.

Any engagement will be governed by a written independent-contractor agreement specifying the parties' respective rights and responsibilities.

Compensation

• Base contract compensation.
• Uncapped sales commissions.
• Approved business travel expenses for conferences, trade shows and other company-requested events will be reimbursed in accordance with the independent-contractor agreement.
• Specific compensation terms will be discussed with qualified candidates and documented in the independent-contractor agreement.

What 911 Secure Provides

• Training on 911 Secure's products and services.
• Education on the E911 and emergency-communications industry.
• Sales materials and product resources.
• Access to experienced company leadership and technical personnel.
• Opportunities to participate in customer meetings and product demonstrations.
• Potential qualified leads generated through trade shows, partners, referrals and company activities.
• Opportunities to attend industry conferences and trade shows.
• The opportunity to develop experience selling technology solutions across multiple industries.
• Uncapped commission potential.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal Junior Account Executive is ambitious, personable, organized and willing to learn.

You do not need to know the E911 industry when you start. We are looking for someone who can learn quickly, communicate professionally and consistently follow through.

The right candidate should be comfortable reaching out to people they have never spoken with before, asking questions, building relationships and creating new business opportunities.

This position is particularly well suited for someone who wants to develop professional sales skills, learn a specialized technology market and have an opportunity to grow as 911 Secure continues to expand.
