Onward Upward Sports and Events runs multi-sport programming and social events across Chester County, and works with venues to add revenue-generating amenities, most at no cost to the venue. We have programs and events selling today, and we are expanding across Greater Philadelphia.
Engagement type: 1099 independent contractor, commission-only, no base.
We are contracting with independent commission representatives to sell across our offerings. Depending on what you are strong at and what you bring, that can include:
- Event tickets, league and program registrations
- Venue, property, and institutional partnerships
- Sponsorships and business partnerships
- Event services such as photography, entertainment, and catering
- Venue amenity placements
- Referrals that convert into any of the above
What you put in: nothing but your time.
- No fee, no inventory, no purchase, no buy-in of any kind
- You are never asked to sell to friends or family
- Customers register and pay through our systems, so you never handle money
What we provide:
- Live programs and events already selling
- Optional marketing materials you may use
- The open market. We do not assign accounts, territories, quotas, or schedules
- No regional limit. If you bring us opportunity outside our current footprint, we will look at it
How you earn:
- No prior sales title required. Sell across any lane you are strong in
- Commission on the sales you bring in, at the rate set for that lane
- Paid on collected revenue only
- Your rate is set in your independent contractor agreement before any sale is credited, and varies by what you sell
- Paid per closed sale after the customer's payment clears. There is no pay period and no payroll
Independent contractor terms:
- This is a 1099 independent contractor engagement, not employment, and it is non-exclusive in both directions
- Representatives operate as their own business, whether as a sole proprietor, single-member LLC, or other entity, and remain free to work with other clients at any time
- You control your own hours, methods, tools, and approach, and you may engage your own help at your own expense
- No quota, no minimum, no required meetings
- Earnings rise and fall entirely with your results, so there is real opportunity for profit and loss
- No employee benefits, no paid time off, no workers' compensation coverage, no unemployment coverage
- You are responsible for your own taxes, business expenses, and insurance, including any workers' compensation or disability coverage you elect to carry
- Either party may end the engagement on written notice
- Representatives complete a W-9 and sign an independent contractor agreement before earning commissions
Who this suits:
- People already running their own book of business who want another line to sell
- Experienced representatives
- Career changers
We contract with representatives on merit and fit for the work.
