Job description
You're the one who makes friends in the checkout line. You talk to the person next to you at the gym. Strangers tell you their life story in about four minutes.
That's not small talk. That's a skill - and we'll pay you for it.

What the day actually looks like
Members walk by. You say hi, you strike up a conversation, you ask if they've ever looked at what solar could do for their electric bill. When someone's interested, you book them a free consultation with our design team - and that's where your part ends.
What you'll make
- $18.50/hour base, paid weekly
- Bonus for every qualified appointment you set
- Typical first-year earnings: $65,000-$75,000. Commissions aren't capped - top performers earn more
- Paid training, start to finish
- Health, dental, vision, PTO, 401(k)
- Promotion from within - most of our field leaders started at a table just like this one
You'll be great at this if you
- Genuinely like people and can start a conversation with anyone
- Stay upbeat through a slow hour
- Show up on time, every time
- Present yourself professionally and follow BJ's in-club standards
