Are you a values-driven professional seeking a career with purpose, structure, and unlimited earning potential?

Our 88-year-old, family-owned company is dedicated to serving and strengthening small American communities. We partner directly with local businesses, schools, and community leaders to create meaningful local impact through sponsorship programs and educational outreach.

We’re seeking a highly ethical and motivated Outside Sales Representative / Territory Sales Manager to join our team, manage a dedicated territory, and make a measurable difference across small-town communities in Illinois.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys meeting new people, building relationships, and working independently in a field-based sales environment—without the demands of extensive overnight travel.

You’ll operate within a two-hour radius of your home, traveling throughout your assigned territory to visit different towns each week. Some weeks may require up to three nights of overnight travel, while most evenings you’ll return home and sleep in your own bed—offering the freedom of territory sales with the stability of local work.

In this role, you’ll represent Ambassador Company by developing local partnerships, engaging with business owners, school administrators, and community leaders, and presenting our community sponsorship program. You’ll secure advertising sponsors and help coordinate the distribution of educational children’s books provided free to families through schools and community organizations.

Each day brings variety, independence, and the opportunity to directly impact the communities you serve while controlling your own earning potential through performance.

If you enjoy the freedom of the road, the excitement of working in a different town each week, and the balance of occasional travel with being home most nights, this is the opportunity for you. Check out ambassadorcompany.com
