About Local Roots Marketing

Local Roots Marketing helps local, mom-and-pop businesses grow through ethical, relationship-first marketing—without pressure tactics, bloated retainers, or confusing jargon.

We focus on long-term partnerships, transparency, and sustainable growth for both our clients and our team.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Business Development & Growth Associate to help introduce our services to local business owners and build trust-based client relationships.

This is a self-directed, commission-only role ideal for someone who values autonomy, ownership, and performance-based rewards. You will be responsible for sourcing your own opportunities within a dedicated territory and helping convert aligned prospects into long-term clients.

In the early stages, our team will assist with closing. Over time, you’ll be expected to confidently manage the full sales cycle independently.

Compensation (Uncapped)

100% commission on the first month’s revenue for each new paying client
10% ongoing commission on recurring monthly revenue from retained clients
Typical client retainers range from $650 to $2,000+ per month
No income cap

Self-source leads through outbound outreach and relationship-building
Use provided marketing and sales materials to support conversations
Clearly explain services in simple, non-technical language
Build long-term, trust-based client relationships
Book and/or close sales conversations
Track outreach and signed clients accurately

What We’re Looking For

Comfort with outbound, self-sourced sales
Strong communication skills with non-technical audiences
Highly self-motivated and organized
Entrepreneurial mindset with a relationship-first approach
Sales, business development, or client-facing experience preferred (not required)

What We Offer

Remote, flexible work environment
Uncapped earning potential
Dedicated territory with room to expand
Training, mentorship, and marketing materials provided
Clear path into senior and management roles for high performers
Sell services that genuinely help small businesses

This Role Is Not a Fit If You
