Independent Sales Representative (1099, Commission Only)

25 open positions

Add a Chicago tea brand to the lines you already carry.

Moody Teas is looking for independent sales representatives to open wholesale and corporate accounts across Chicago. This is a 1099 independent contractor opportunity paid on straight commission — no base, no draw, no guaranteed income. You set your own hours, use your own tools, and are encouraged to represent other lines alongside ours.

What You'll Do

  • Open wholesale accounts with cafes, grocers, offices, and specialty retailers
  • Book corporate events, workshops, and gifting programs
  • Source new farmers market placements across Chicago
  • Keep your accounts reordering — wholesale commission recurs on every reorder

What You Bring

  • Your own business, tools, and schedule
  • Experience selling to businesses, ideally in food, beverage, or hospitality
  • Comfort being paid purely on results, with no guaranteed income
  • Chicago-area coverage and existing account relationships are a plus

Moodologist

5 open positions

You don't just sell tea. You read the room.

A Moodologist is Moody Teas' frontline tea specialist — part guide, part storyteller, part barista. You meet customers where they are (stressed, tired, curious, celebratory) and help them find the exact blend they didn't know they needed.

What You'll Do

  • Engage customers at farmers markets and pop-ups with genuine curiosity and warmth
  • Guide guests through our mood-driven tea lineup — explaining flavor profiles, ingredients, and intention behind each blend
  • Brew and serve samples with care and consistency
  • Turn browsers into loyal steepers through real conversation
  • Represent the Moody Teas brand with energy and authenticity
  • Support booth setup, breakdown, and inventory at market events

What You Bring

  • A natural ability to connect with strangers and make them feel seen
  • Genuine interest in tea, wellness, or food culture
  • Comfort on your feet in fast-paced, outdoor environments
  • Clear, proactive communication — you speak up and follow through
  • Experience in customer-facing roles (café, retail, hospitality) is a plus, not a requirement
