We are expanding our reach in NE Ohio and South Pittsburgh and are seeking entrepreneurial, relationship-driven Consultative B2B Sales Professionals to join our local team.

Role Description

This is not a typical employee sales job — it’s an independent (1099), full-time, consultative B2B sales role with unlimited earning potential. Have you ever wanted to own your own business but not have all the upfront costs? Then this might be for you.

As a Dale Carnegie B2B Sales Consultant, you will build your own book of business within your assigned territory. You will connect with business owners, executives, and HR/L&D leaders to diagnose people-development needs and recommend world-class Dale Carnegie training solutions.

• 20% commission on all revenue sold
• Uncapped earning potential
• Established consultants routinely earn beyond traditional base + commission roles

This opportunity is ideal for someone who believes in themselves, thrives in consultative B2B sales, and wants unlimited upside.
