Frequently
asked
questions
What is a Plastic Bank Sales Advisor? Is it the same as a sales representative or business development representative?
The terms Sales Advisor, Sales Representative, and Business Development Representative can be used interchangeably. We like the term Advisor as it showcases the scope of the role and the relationship you have with your customers. But you may hear us use all three!
What does a Plastic Bank Sales Advisor do?
The sales advisor connects with local businesses and advises them on enhancing their purpose and mission by adding a sustainability program that consumers care about. That program is our Impact Subscription, a monthly impact contribution guaranteeing the collection of a pre-set amount of plastic bottles by our collection communities.
How do I become a Plastic Bank Sales Advisor? Do I need any certifications?
As soon as the Sales Advisor is accepted into the program and completes the onboarding, they are good to go. While past experience in sales and/or the sustainability field is helpful, it is possible to learn the ropes along the way both through the required Plastic Bank training and external sales training (there are lots of resources out there, from YouTube to Coursera to LinkedIn Learning).Â
The first step to becoming a Sales Advisor is to apply to join Plastic Bank. Fill out the details on this page and you’ll be prompted with a survey to tell us more about yourself. Once you apply, we’ll be in touch if it’s a good fit. From there, you’ll be invited into our program and can get going.Â
Where do Plastic Bank Sales Advisors work?
You can work from anywhere. All you need is a love for sustainability, a WiFi connection, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a get-to-work attitude. Understanding the likely businesses in your region and a few folks in your network to call is also a great start.Â
What is my Sales Advisor selling region?
We think you’ll do best if you stick to your home city/metro area with a focus on small to medium retail businesses, local chains, and small consultancies. When you start to look around you’ll find a wealth of these types of businesses close to home. All of which are excellent candidates for the Impact Subscription. You don’t need to go far!Â
What brands does Plastic Bank already work with?
We work with a wide variety of progressive businesses and brands that are keen to reduce their environmental footprint, promote a circular economy, and support collection communities. Check out the full list here: https://plasticbank.com/our-partners
How do Plastic Bank Sales Advisors get paid?
Sales Advisors get paid by earning commissions when their clients purchase Impact Subscriptions. Impact Subscription is billed either monthly or annually. The commission is earned based on when the billing occurs.
We’re proud to offer a full-service, backend commission management service. We pay out commission monthly based on completed billings.
What is the commission amount?
The commission program rewards both direct sales as well as sponsored sales. In other words, you’ll earn commission on your own direct sales plus on the sales of advisors you bring into the program (i.e. sponsor). You can sponsor advisors up to two deep. The commission is tiered with the highest rate on your direct sales (tier 1) and the lowest rate on your secondary advisors (tier 3).
Each Sales Advisor is an independent businessperson, whose individual success depends on their own selling efforts and the selling efforts of those they register. There is no cap. The more you and your team sell, the more commissions you make.
Check the commission rates and structure in the Business Reference Guide.
Is there a minimum booking to stay active?
Nope. You are empowered to sell in accordance with your schedule and on your own terms.
How quickly can I start selling?
Quickly! Once we receive your application, we will review it quickly and set up a call with you. From there, we’ll ask you to complete a 90-minute overview training of the program. If you are as excited as we are about completing the training, you can get started right away!
Is Plastic Bank a multi-level marketing (MLM) company?
Nope! We never require advisors to recruit other advisors. Our Sales Advisors’ primary income comes from direct sales. Sponsoring other advisors and sharing a portion of the billings is completely optional and unlikely (in the short term) to become as lucrative as your own direct sales. Sales Advisors are independent contractors and earn commissions on their own without any contingencies, limits, or minimums. Sales Advisors can cancel their affiliation with Plastic Bank and stop booking deals at any time, no questions asked.Â
