Caribbean Cannabis & Tourism Summit | Ganjactivist.com
We are seeking an experienced, highly motivated Sales Lead to build and manage the revenue function behind the Caribbean Cannabis & Tourism Summit, Ganjactivist.com Magazine and our growing year-round platform.
Our founder is currently leading programming, speakers, partnerships and event development. We need someone whose primary focus is clear: bringing in revenue and building a sales team that performs.
The Role:
The Sales Lead will take ownership of:
• Summit sponsorship and exhibitor sales.
• Magazine advertising and branded-content opportunities.
• Ticket packages and group sales.
• Strategic partnerships and revenue-generating activations.
• Developing sales targets, pipelines, outreach systems and reporting.
• Recruiting, onboarding and managing commission-based sales representatives.
• Coordinating closely with the founder, programming team and operations team.
• Recommending team additions and sales decisions, with final approval remaining with the founder.
This is a hands-on leadership role. The successful candidate must be comfortable closing deals personally while also building and managing a capable sales team.
Compensation:
• Individual sales commission.
• Performance incentives.
• Up to a 5% team-performance commission/override, based on agreed targets and collected revenue.
Sales representatives working under the lead will receive commissions and, where applicable, a stipend.
The Ideal Candidate:
You should have demonstrated experience in one or more of the following:
• Event sponsorship sales.
• Media or advertising sales.
• Hospitality, tourism or conference sales.
• Cannabis, wellness or lifestyle industries.
• Corporate partnerships and business development.
• Managing salespeople, pipelines and CRM systems.
You must be organized, persuasive, commercially minded and comfortable working in a fast-moving entrepreneurial environment. Strong regional and international business relationships are an advantage.
This is an opportunity to help build a major Caribbean-facing platform connecting cannabis, tourism, hospitality, wellness, culture, investment and policy.
