Job description

WOW CUSTOMERS & ROCK THE SALES GAME: TEES, HATS, STICKERS & MORE

THE OPPORTUNITY:

At EMI-TGT, we create travel-inspired, creative products that celebrate life's best moments. From soft tees and cozy hoodies to iconic stickers and bold hats, our goods tell a story—and we want independent sales pros to help our resort and retail partners share it.

We're on the lookout for an Independent Sales Rep to represent our growing brand in the state of Washington. This 1099 opportunity is perfect for someone who's passionate about sales, thrives working independently, and brings a creative, relationship-focused mindset to the table.

Already repping other lines? No problem—this is a multi-line friendly position that complements your existing portfolio, especially if you're already in the resort or specialty retail space.

You’ll connect directly with our National Sales Manager, but you own your day. Visit gift shops, resorts, boutiques, and outfitters to introduce merchandise their customers will love. If you're self-driven, personable, and looking to expand your presence in the resort and lifestyle market, this gig is for you.

Territory: Washington State – looking for someone located anywhere in the state. If this sounds like a fit, let’s talk.

Schedule & Pay: 100% flexible. You manage your time, your schedule, your sales. More hustle = more reward.

Daily Rep Life | Sell + Connect + Create + Grow

• Build lasting partnerships with resorts, hotels, boutiques, outfitters, and specialty retailers
• Promote a creative, dynamic line of apparel, stickers, and lifestyle goods designed for resort and vacation-driven retail
• Use your sales skills to open new accounts and grow existing ones
• Manage your schedule independently and prioritize like a pro
• Stay in tune with customer needs, trends, and seasonal opportunities
• Collaborate with our internal team to ensure smooth, successful orders
• Inspire fun, connection, and creativity through every product you sell
• Seamlessly integrate EMI-TGT into your existing line portfolio – this is a strong add-on for reps already selling into resort or gift markets
• Experience in sales – especially with apparel, resort, or lifestyle brands is a plus
• Prior work as a Sales Rep, Buyer, or in merchandising is a bonus
• Strong communicator who can connect with diverse customers
• Comfortable traveling throughout your territory to support accounts
• Organized, proactive, and confident working independently as a 1099 Rep
• Proficient with tech tools and order entry systems to stay on track
• Creative thinker who brings energy and ideas to every sales call
• Already repping other lines? Even better – our brand pairs perfectly with other resort-related product lines
