## Independent Outside Sales Representative - Schools & Studios

SA Picture Day | San Antonio, TX Metro | 1099 Independent Contractor | 100% CommissionSA Picture Day is hiring an independent outside sales representative to help us grow our school, dance, gymnastics, cheer, and daycare picture day business across the San Antonio area.This is a commission-only role for someone who already knows how to create conversations, build local trust, and close relationship-driven B2B accounts. It is not a salaried job, and it is not a fit for someone who needs a guaranteed paycheck in the first 30-60 days.The right person can build a local book of repeatable accounts. Many studios do not book only once. A single good account may schedule spring portraits, fall portraits, recital coverage, team media days, hype reels, or special events in the same year, with future renewal opportunities after that.What SA Picture Day DoesSA Picture Day is a San Antonio-based volume photography and video company serving schools, daycares, dance studios, gymnastics academies, cheer programs, and youth organizations.We handle the photography, video, editing, online galleries, parent communication, order delivery, customer support, and technical systems.

Higher commission tiers up to 20% may be available after proven self-sourced closes, clean CRM documentation, and smooth handoffs.As a simple example: if an account generates $5,000 in collected parent sales, starting commission would typically pay $500-$750. Higher tiers may apply after performance is proven.Many studio accounts are expected to generate roughly $5,000-$15,000 per event or season, depending on size, participation, and services booked. Some studios book multiple events per year, so one good account can create several commissionable opportunities before renewal income is even considered.Renewal commission may continue for up to 12 months after separation on accounts you personally originated and closed, unless the agreement ends for cause. Exact commission terms are defined in writing before work begins.Recoverable advances may be available after a new account signs and schedules a picture day.This Is A Fit IfYou have real outbound sales experienceYou are comfortable making cold calls and walking into local businessesYou can build trust with studio owners, daycare directors, school leaders, and administratorsYou are warm, direct, organized, and persistentYou can handle rejection without losing composureYou can keep a pipeline current without being chasedYou have reliable transportation for local meetingsYou understand commission-only sales and have enough runway for the rampYou want to help build a repeatable book of business, not chase one-off transactionsThis Is Not A Fit IfYou need a guaranteed paycheck in the first 30-60 daysYou want a W-2 role, benefits, or a salary backstopYou avoid cold outreachYou dislike CRM notes or pipeline disciplineYou expect leads to be handed to you fully ready to closeYou want to sell competing photography or video servicesYou want to cross-sell unrelated offers into SA Picture Day leads or clientsYou are looking for a creative photography job instead of a sales roleYou may have other work, but you may not represent competing photography/video services or sell unrelated offers into SA Picture leads, clients, or CRM contacts.How To ApplyEmail hireme@sapicture.day with the subject line:Independent Sales Rep - [Your Name]Include all three parts below.Part 1 - GritIn about 150 words, tell us about a cold-sourced deal, long sales pursuit, or stubborn goal you stayed with longer than most people would have.
