• Attending bridal shows, trade shows, networking events, and community functions
• Developing strategic partnerships that generate recurring business
• Selling complete event experiences, including venue rental, catering, bar service, enhancements, and overnight Park Model lodging
• Managing client planning during the venue's startup phase before transitioning those responsibilities to a future Sales & Event Coordinator

We're searching for someone who:

• Loves networking and meeting new people
• Is driven by performance and results
• Has exceptional communication and relationship‑building skills

Previous event planning experience is helpful but not required.

• 5% on the first $250,000 in annual booked revenue
• 6% on revenue from $250,001–$500,000
• 7% on revenue from $500,001–$750,000
• 8% on revenue from $750,001–$1,000,000
• 10% on revenue exceeding $1,000,000

Commissions are earned upon execution of a signed contract and receipt of the required client deposit.

To help you establish a successful sales pipeline, The Orangery provides:

• Recoverable draw of $3,000 per month for the first 90 days
• IRS mileage reimbursement for approved travel
• Reimbursement for pre‑approved trade shows, networking events, lodging, airfare, and other business development expenses

This isn't just another sales position. You'll have the opportunity to:

• Build the sales strategy from day one
• Establish yourself as a leader within a growing organization
• Develop long‑term relationships throughout Southwest Florida
• Help shape one of the region's premier event destinations
