The best way I’ve found to recruit commission sales reps is to treat it like you're building a partnership, not just filling a role.
Start by getting super clear on what you're offering — not just the commission rate, but how much a rep can realistically earn in 30, 60, or 90 days.
The best reps aren’t just looking for a percentage — they’re looking for a real opportunity to close deals and get paid fast.
Then go where commission reps already hang out:
- CommissionCrowd and RepHunter are solid platforms built for this exact purpose.
- Facebook groups and LinkedIn communities like “Remote Sales Reps,” “High Ticket Closers,” or “Commission-Only Sales Jobs” are gold if you post clearly and respond fast.
- You can even source them through your own customers or network — some of the best reps are already fans of what you offer.
Also, don’t forget: Your offer has to sell itself. Commission reps are like mini-entrepreneurs — they want to know there’s real demand and that you’ll support them with tools, training, or even leads.
If you show them they can win, the right reps will come to you.
