  • Represent our core values in every interaction.

What We're Looking For
  • Outgoing personality and ability to talk to anyone.
  • Confidence and enthusiasm that draw people in.
  • High stamina-you'll be on your feet and in motion for hours.
  • Self-motivation and drive to exceed booking goals.
  • Willingness to assist with light setup and tear-down.
  • Alignment with Closets by Design Salt Lake City's core values of professionalism, integrity, and exceptional service.

Compensation
  • $40/hour for time at the show.
  • $50 per set appointment (average 20-50+ appointments depending on effort and skill).
  • 1099 independent contractor position.

Schedule & Opportunity
  • Shows are scheduled throughout the year-up to 8 events annually across Utah for top performers.
  • Each show lasts several days-weekends required.
