Original job description
Compensation
$72k – $144k OTE • Commission Only • 1099 Contract
100% commission, no base salary. This is a 1099 independent contractor role. On-target earnings: $72K–$144K ($6K–$12K/month depending on performance). Commissions are uncapped, with monthly, quarterly, and annual bonuses on top. During your initial training and ramp period (typically the first 30–45 days), expect limited earnings while you complete product and sales training; first commissions typically land in your second month.
Overview
NGT Academy was founded by Air Force veterans on the belief that education should prepare people for the workforce the same way military training does, with real-world skills instead of four years of debt for a degree that doesn't teach what employers actually need. We're on a mission to place 1 million people into tech careers by 2030, and we need closers who can turn conversations into career transformations. This is a commission-only 1099 contractor role for experienced sales professionals who bet on themselves. You'll own the full enrollment conversation from first call to close, working via Zoom with prospects who've already expressed interest in changing their careers. The product has 800+ five-star Trustpilot reviews, so your job is helping the right people say yes. Fully remote; our team spans the United States, Canada, and Europe. If you're confident in your ability to close, keep reading.
