Event Sales Assistant

Event Sales Assistant

Brandlete · Philadelphia, PA (On-site) · Full-time Pay: $840 – $1,000 (P/W)

No great event runs on luck. It runs on people who show up early, stay sharp, and know exactly what needs to happen next.

Brandlete is a Philadelphia-based sales and leadership development company. Businesses hire us to build their customer acquisition teams from the ground up, and a lot of that work happens through promotional sales events — in-market activations, retail promotions, campaign pop-ups, and roadshows where a client's brand meets real customers face-to-face. To be clear: this isn't hospitality or social events work — there's no catering, no weddings, no parties. These are sales and marketing events, built to generate real customer conversations and drive results for our clients.

That's where an Event Sales Assistant comes in. You're not stuck behind a desk — you're on-site at these promotional events, keeping things running so the team having the customer conversations can focus entirely on that. No events or marketing background needed. What matters is that you're organized, dependable, and willing to learn fast.

What a shift actually looks like

• Helping set up, run, and break down client promotional sales events — activations, retail promotions, pop-ups, and roadshows, not private or social functions
• Preparing and managing the materials, signage, and product/campaign displays a promotional event needs to run properly
• Keeping timing and on-site logistics under control so nothing slows down the reps generating customer conversations
• Talking directly with attendees and potential customers, representing the client's brand clearly and honestly as part of the sales effort
• Learning our structured customer acquisition process from the reps and coaches working alongside you at each event
• Reviewing how each event performed with a coach afterward — what drove results, what to adjust next time
• Growing toward a specialism over time, whether that's customer acquisition or coaching/leadership

The kind of person who does well here

• Organized, and calm when a few things need handling at once
• Curious and willing to improve — we care more about attitude than a resume line
• Takes feedback well and actually uses it — this matters more than experience
• Reliable and on time, with a way to get to our Philadelphia office and promotional event sites daily
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, public-facing sales environment — this is active, on-your-feet work, not a desk job
• No degree or prior events/sales experience required

Compensation & growth

Pay consists of $840–$1,000 a week to start (that's $43,700–$52,000 a year), paid out weekly, including uncapped commission — Progression here is based on merit, not seniority: the value you create determines how fast you move, not how long you've been here. Over 30 of our current business leaders were promoted from entry-level roles just like this one, through the same structured coaching path you'd be starting on.

What sets this apart

• You're never just left to figure it out — every Assistant gets real coaching and daily feedback, not a checklist and a "good luck"
• We build repeatable systems the way athletic teams build training programs — so your results depend on the process, not on being a "natural"
• A clear path forward — customer acquisition or coaching/leadership, both mapped out, both earned on merit
• A Philadelphia team that actually invests time in your development, not just your output

Sound like you? Apply if: you want a role where showing up organized and staying coachable actually gets you somewhere.
