Cold Heading Jobs in Colorado (NOW HIRING)

Advertising Sales Representative – Colorado Territory
1099 Independent Contractor | Commission Only | Field Sales

Lorenzo Executive Advisory is recruiting on behalf of Regal Publications, an established hospitality marketing company with more than 40 years of experience serving hotels and their guests.

We’re looking for a self-directed sales professional to develop advertising relationships across Colorado hospitality markets including Vail, Breckenridge, Crested Butte, Denver, Colorado Springs and surrounding visitor destinations. You’ll work directly with restaurants, attractions, retailers, entertainment venues, wellness businesses, and other local companies that want to reach hotel guests and travelers

This opportunity is best suited for experienced sales professionals who love the freedom of the field — meeting business owners face-to-face, running their own territory, and thriving in a performance-based, uncapped commission environment. You'll be selling advertising space — much of it digital — in Regal's in-room hotel guest directories to local businesses eager to reach hotel guests and travelers.

Job Type

Independent Contractor (1099)

Schedule

Self-directed, field-based

Compensation

Commission-based, uncapped, bi-weekly

Travel

Extensive — typically 1–2 weeks in the field per trip when outside your local area; hotel stays covered by our partner network

Start Date

ASAP

What You'll Do

• Prospect local businesses eager to reach hotel guests and travelers, in person and by phone or email
• Identify decision-makers and turn them into advertising partners
• Present Regal's advertising opportunities with confidence, and follow up consistently until the deal closes
• Manage your own sales pipeline and territory activity
• Travel your assigned market for extended stretches — this is a road-first role
• Check in with Regal regularly on your territory's progress

Compensation & Support

This is a 1099 independent contractor role with uncapped, commission-based earnings — the more advertiser relationships you build and close, the more you make. There's no cap on how many advertisers you can bring on, even within the same category, since Regal doesn't offer exclusivity — just aim for variety over duplicates (a chain pizza spot, a New York–style shop, and a vegan option, say, rather than five versions of the same thing). Income is variable and tied to your own activity, so candidates should be financially prepared for the ramp-up period before their first commission lands.

You won't be doing this cold: Regal provides training and onboarding, lead lists when available, and weekly team sales meetings are part of the role. Many territories also offer renewal business from existing advertisers.

Life on the Road

This is a road-first role. Expect to be in the field for extended stretches — typically 1–3 weeks at a time — before heading home, with hotel stays covered by our partner hotel network for the duration.

Regal provides complimentary hotel accommodations for approved sales projects. Representatives are responsible for their own everyday travel expenses, including meals and gas, and hotels typically require a valid credit card at check-in for personal incidentals. Since commissions are paid as sales are processed and collected, we recommend planning ahead for these routine expenses during the initial ramp-up period.

To make the most of it, you should:

• Have a valid driver's license and reliable vehicle for work-related travel
• Be comfortable driving and working independently throughout your territory
• Be ready for extended time away from home — typically 1–3 weeks per trip
• Be able to manage travel, prospecting, and follow-up on your own

Who Thrives Here

You might be a great fit if you:

• Genuinely enjoy prospecting and building new business, and don't mind cold calling or walking into a business unannounced
• Can shake off rejection, follow up consistently, and build rapport easily with owners and decision-makers
• Work well independently, stay organized across multiple prospects, and are comfortable with uncapped, commission-based pay
• Would rather be in the field — than behind a desk

We love backgrounds in advertising, media, outside, territory, hospitality, or tourism sales, merchant services, sponsorship or event advertising, independent sales representation, or small-business B2B sales — though direct advertising experience isn't required. Familiarity with digital advertising or ad tech platforms is a real plus, since most of what you'll be selling is digital.

This probably isn't the right fit if you need to work primarily from inbound leads, require close day-to-day supervision, want a desk-based or fully remote role, or can't be away from home for at least a week at a time when needed.

How to Apply

Ready to turn your next paycheck into new places, new people, and a territory that's really yours? We're hiring now — most markets need a rep as soon as possible to keep current hotel accounts serviced.
