About Us
Metro Esports (a division of Metro Digital Group) is a premier design-build-operate partner delivering state-of-the-art
Gaming & Creator Labs
to community spaces nationwide. We combine esports, STEM/STEAM education, AI training, and workforce development into turnkey, high-impact youth engagement facilities. From infrastructure and top-tier tech to curriculum and ongoing event support, we turn traditional spaces into modern hubs for digital innovation.
The Opportunity
We are seeking high-performing, self-motivated
Independent Sales Representatives (1099)
to lead the expansion of our Gaming & Creator Labs across educational institutions, YMCAs, and municipal parks & recreation departments.
Because our solutions address urgent youth engagement, workforce development, and digital literacy needs, institutions actively fund these builds through pre-allocated budgets,
Title IV grants, ARPA funds, CTE funding, and Community Development Block Grants
.
This is a
100% commission-based 1099 role
offering lucrative payouts per completed contract ($25,000–$100,000+ typical deal sizes), clear sales kits, and rapid closing velocity compared to standard corporate pitch cycles.
What You’ll Do
- Source & Close B2B Opportunities:
Identify and engage key decision-makers (School Superintendents, YMCA Executive Directors, Parks & Rec Directors, Municipal Leaders, CTE Coordinators) across any US market. - Pitch Turnkey Solutions:
Present our plug-and-play lab packages, showing clients how physical infrastructure, tech, and STEAM programming blend seamlessly into their community mandate. - Leverage Institutional Funding:
Guide buyers on utilizing existing federal, state, and local grant dollars (Title IV, ARPA, CTE, workforce grants) to fund their lab projects. - Manage the Pipeline:
Drive prospects through a 30- to 90-day sales cycle from initial contact to contract execution.
What We Offer You
- High Commission Rates:
Earn
20% to 30%+
per closed facility package, well above standard W-2 industry rates. - Uncapped Upside:
No ceiling on what you can earn. A single multi-lab or district-wide rollout can generate five-figure commission checks. - Turnkey Sales Enablement:
We supply you with complete sales kits, standardized project packages ($25k, $50k, $100k tiers), funding maps, pitch decks, and proposal templates so you can close deals fast. - Flexible Schedule:
100% remote/field autonomy. You control your schedule, sales strategy, and client reach. - Complementary Product Line:
Ideal for sales professionals who already carry non-competing lines into charter, private-public schools, YMCAs, youth groups, or local governments and want a high-value, high-demand add-on.
