Brief Description

Outgoing Event Sales Assistants wanted for country shows, festivals, markets and major city events. Demonstrate proven long-term products using simple, friendly methods. Flexible travel, quality accommodation when needed, and good earning potential.

Job Description

We are looking for enthusiastic, reliable and outgoing people to join our small team promoting and selling our proven, high-quality products at country agricultural shows, festivals and weekend markets in major cities and regional Australia.

These are established long-term products with a successful track record spanning over 30 years – not recent TV items or bulk-imported goods. Our simple, low-pressure demonstration and sales methods have been refined and proven effective over decades. Full training is fast, straightforward and provided on the job.

Immediate opportunities:
We are currently seeking enthusiastic casual team members to help with two upcoming events — the Hawkesbury Show (this Friday 24 – Sunday 26 April) and the Bathurst Show the following weekend (Fri–Sun).

This is a great opportunity to jump in straight away, with the potential for ongoing work at future country shows, festivals and markets if it’s a good fit for both sides. We love building longer-term relationships with reliable team members who enjoy the lifestyle.

This is genuine event-based casual work with plenty of variety. It’s a fantastic way to see more of Australia while earning money in a lively, event-based environment. You can be based in Sydney or anywhere else – simply travel out for the shows/events we’re doing and return to your base afterwards. If you don’t have a fixed location, we can help point you toward suitable backpacker accommodation near upcoming events.

What the role involves:
  • Helping set up and pack down the stall at each event (early starts on some days)
  • Demonstrating the products to customers in a friendly, relaxed way
  • Chatting with the public, answering questions and building rapport
  • Making sales using our simple, no-hard-sell approach
  • Keeping the display tidy and well-stocked during the day
  • Working together as part of a small, supportive team
Travel & Accommodation:
  • When travelling to events we arrange quality accommodation with your own room.
  • Travel options are flexible: travel with the team, use your own vehicle (fuel and tolls compensated), or sometimes trains/buses where that suits everyone.
  • Many events are local, so you would make your own way to the venue.
Onboarding & Training:
We’ll send you some basic product overviews and training material before your first show. On the day we provide additional hands-on practice, followed by on-the-job training and support. Everything is kept simple and straightforward.

Hours & Earnings:
Casual position with variable hours depending on the event schedule (usually 6–10 hours per day when working).

Pay is performance-based: $20 – $65 per hour (or $200 – $600 per day on busy events), reflecting base rate plus commission from actual sales. Top performers consistently earn at the higher end.  Payment can be arranged as a casual employee (with TFN – tax withheld) or via invoice if you have an ABN. We’ll discuss the best option for your situation.

What we’re looking for:
  • Friendly, outgoing personality who enjoys talking to people
  • Positive attitude and reliability
  • Comfortable standing for long periods and working outdoors
  • No previous sales experience needed
  • Own transport is helpful but not essential (travel support available)
  • Available for weekend and occasional weekday work during show season
This role is ideal for backpackers on Working Holiday visas, travellers, students or anyone wanting flexible, social casual work with the chance to explore different parts of the country.

If you’re energetic, like meeting new people and want straightforward work with real earning potential plus travel perks, we’d love to hear from you!

Please reply with a short message including your availability (especially for this Friday/Saturday), location and why this sounds like a good fit.
