At Snipply, we understand freelancing has quickly become an increasingly important part of the modern economy. What once started with creative professionals, admins, and consultants has now become a viable option for all types of professionals within almost every industry vertical.
Many sales professionals haven’t thought about going the freelance route but now is especially a good time to at least take a look at what is out there. Check out these 5 places to find freelance sales gigs.
PEOPLE PER HOUR
People Per hour specializes in connecting freelancers to projects that you guessed it — are paid by the hour. They used to focus web projects for marketers, SEO specialists, and software engineers, but now have a decent amount of sales positions as well — especially for lower-level sales activities. They streamline the process of freelancing by organizing communication and payments as well as job management. Freelancers can send up to 15 proposals to potential clients for free before needing a paid plan, but browsing opportunities is always free.
ZipRecruiter
ZipRecruiter is pretty famous for its platform due to how many companies use it, as well as their aggressive marketing campaigns in digital and broadcast media. They’re increasingly posting freelance opportunities for both in-person and virtual help, and spanning everything from creative work to commission-based sales opportunities. Definitely put ZipRecruiter on your list for the sheer amount of different opportunities they present.
Salesforce App Exchange Job Board
If you work in sales you obviously know Salesforce whether you like it or use it or not. Since making the journey from SaaS product to platform, they’ve become a full-service channel for hiring and managing talent. The App Exchange job board allows companies to post jobs and hire without leaving their sales ecosystem. This is a must to check out especially if you are experienced in using Salesforce.
UPWORK
At this point, we all know Upwork. They are a standard when it comes to freelance platforms and they’re both great for the recruiter and freelancers. Sales jobs have become a larger component, featuring everything from low-level sales work to high dollar consulting gigs.
Flexjobs
Flexjobs hand-screens and curate every job and company to make sure they’re legitimate, professional offers. Their first goal is to remove the key pain point of finding great remote and flexible job opportunities that are typically harder and more time consuming to find anywhere else, and their second is to provide top-notch tools, resources, articles, and tips to support the freelancers on the platform. With an abundant amount of sales opportunities, it seems like a no brainer to be checking Flexjobs for sales gigs.
So that does it for the list. If you enjoyed it make sure to check out the Snipply blog here, where we’ll be publishing a full guide to freelancing (and freelancing as a salesperson).
