Tradeshow Individual or Team Sales and/or Culinary experience are not what qualify our interest… We’re looking for honest, ambitious individuals, couples, or teams, to conduct healthy cooking demonstrations at Consumer Tradeshows, answer questions, and assist customers with placing orders for our products. You can always tell a company by the people it keeps! Many of our Cooking Shows Hosts have been with us 10 to 15 and 20 years or more. They enjoy a flexible schedule with paid family vacations, incentives, benefits, and quality time off to spend with the family. Most begin part time to supplement their income and transitioned to full time when the timing was right. Orientation & Training is provided by a core group of experienced Regional Managers at Regional Consumer Tradeshows. If you’re tired of the corporate rat race and ready for a recession proof business opportunity, possess the drive to succeed, have a strong work ethic and a positive attitude, and can work successfully without supervision… Contact me to arrange an interview.
