Founding Territory Sales Partner — Brighton & Sussex
ImpactSOS | Self-employed | Commission-based | Flexible, field-based
About the Role
ImpactSOS creates greeting cards that represent and financially support community groups, charities, makers, and social-impact organisations.
We already work with a growing network of independent retailers in London. We’re now looking for an outgoing, entrepreneurial person to launch and develop our first territory outside the capital: Brighton & Sussex.
You’ll introduce ImpactSOS to independent retailers, secure new stockists, keep their displays performing, and earn ongoing commission from every card they order.
What You’ll Do
You’ll be responsible for developing and managing the ImpactSOS retail network across Brighton & Sussex.
Your work will include:
- Visiting independent cafés, gift shops, bookshops, galleries, Post Offices, convenience stores, and other suitable retailers
- Introducing owners and managers to ImpactSOS
- Securing new retail stockists
- Installing card displays and helping retailers choose suitable ranges
- Visiting existing stockists to check displays and arrange restocks
- Building long-term relationships with retailers
- Identifying inspiring community groups that could be represented on ImpactSOS cards
- Keeping accurate records of conversations, opportunities, and orders
- Sharing what you learn as we develop the model nationally
This isn’t a conventional desk-based sales job. It’s an opportunity for someone who enjoys meeting people, building relationships, and developing their own local territory.
How You’ll Earn
You’ll receive 50p commission for every card sold to a retailer in your territory.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Our existing retailers currently order an average of approximately 100 cards every four-six weeks. At that level, each active retailer would generate approximately:
- £50 commission every six weeks
- £36 commission per month
- £433 commission per year
Based on that current average:
- 25 active retailers could generate approximately £10,800 a year
- 50 active retailers could generate approximately £21,700 a year
- 100 active retailers could generate approximately £43,300 a year
- 150 active retailers could generate approximately £65,000 a year
- 200 active retailers could generate approximately £86,700 a year
Commission continues for as long as qualifying retailers in your territory continue ordering cards.
These figures are illustrations based on current average retailer orders. They are not guaranteed earnings. Your income will depend on the number of active retailers you develop and the volume of cards they order.
What Impact Shop Provides
We’ll provide:
- Initial training and ongoing support
- Card samples and sales materials
- Retail display equipment
- Stock, production, and fulfilment
- Access to our ordering and customer-management systems
- An established brand and product proposition

- Guidance based on our existing retail experience

Alternatively, you may simply be a persuasive, motivated people-person who understands Brighton & Sussex and wants to build something of your own.
