About Soul Society

At Soul Society, we help brands grow by bringing their products and services directly to people. Through face-to-face marketing campaigns and live promotional experiences, we focus on building customer relationships, generating new business, and driving sales through meaningful personal interactions.

We believe that great results come from great conversations. By combining direct customer engagement with effective sales strategies, we help brands expand their reach while creating opportunities for ambitious individuals to develop valuable commercial skills.

As our team grows, we’re looking for enthusiastic people who enjoy interacting with others, are motivated by results, and want to build their experience in sales, marketing, and brand representation.

The Role

We’re looking for an outgoing and driven Entry-Level Event Assistant to represent our partner brands at live promotional campaigns and face-to-face marketing events.

While events provide the setting, sales and customer acquisition are at the heart of this role. You’ll engage directly with potential customers, introduce products and services, communicate their benefits, and help turn conversations into sales and new customer relationships.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys meeting new people, is comfortable starting conversations, and wants to develop practical sales skills in a fast-paced, interactive environment.

No previous experience is necessary. We provide hands‑on training and ongoing support to help you build confidence, strengthen your communication skills, and learn to deliver effective customer interactions that drive campaign results.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Drive sales and customer acquisition: Engage with potential customers face-to-face, introduce relevant products and services, and help generate new business.
• Create sales opportunities: Start conversations, identify customer interests, communicate key benefits, and encourage customers to take action.
• Represent partner brands: Promote products, services, and campaigns professionally while delivering a positive customer experience.
• Work towards sales targets: Contribute to individual and team objectives, customer acquisition goals, and campaign performance.
• Build customer relationships: Establish rapport, answer questions, handle objections constructively, and communicate with confidence.
• Support live campaigns: Assist with on-site preparations and promotional activities to ensure campaigns run smoothly and maximize sales opportunities.
• Develop your skills: Learn effective sales techniques, customer engagement strategies, and ways to improve your performance through coaching and practical experience.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for people with a positive attitude, strong communication skills, and a genuine interest in working with customers.

You could be a great fit if you have:

• Confidence approaching and speaking with new people.
• An interest in sales, marketing, customer engagement, or brand promotion.
• A goal-oriented mindset and the motivation to achieve results.
• The ability to communicate clearly and explain products or services effectively.
• Resilience, initiative, and a willingness to learn from feedback.
• A friendly, professional approach and the ability to work well within a team.
• Flexibility to work occasional evenings and weekends when campaign schedules require it.

Previous experience in sales, retail, hospitality, or customer service is helpful but not essential. We welcome entry‑level applicants who are eager to learn, develop their skills, and take on new challenges.

Why Join Soul Society?

• Sales-focused training: Gain practical experience in customer acquisition, sales conversations, objection handling, and brand representation.
• Performance incentives: Benefit from competitive weekly pay and performance-based incentives.
• Career progression: Develop skills that can support future opportunities in sales, marketing, and team leadership.
• A people-focused environment: Build confidence through daily interactions with customers and colleagues.
• Hands‑on experience: Learn by representing brands and engaging with customers in real-world campaign settings.
• Transferable skills: Strengthen your communication, negotiation, relationship-building, and commercial awareness.

Join Soul Society and take the first step towards building your experience in face-to-face marketing, sales, and customer acquisition.
