You’ll receive a monthly self-employed retainer, alongside commission for every new business you successfully bring into Love Your Doorstep. But your earning opportunity doesn’t stop when you make the sale. You’ll also have the opportunity to earn recurring monthly portfolio commission from the active businesses you’ve brought into LYDS and continue to manage. This means that as you build and retain your portfolio, you can build your own recurring monthly income alongside it. There will also be additional incentives for achieving sales targets and opportunities to earn commission from other LYDS services. Full commission structure will be discussed with shortlisted candidates. About Love Your Doorstep Love Your Doorstep has been connecting the Enfield community since 2011.
