Puerto Plata To Regain It's Position as One of the Country’s Main Tourist Destinations

To help businesses in Puerto Plata, gopuertoplata.com has developed into an online portal designed to promote the businesses, services, attractions, and opportunities of the Province of Puerto Plata, while helping local businesses reach more Tourists, Residents and Expat Customers through the internet.

We are looking for a motivated, personable, and entrepreneurial person living in Puerto Plata to join us initially in a Business Development / Sales role on a commission basis.

But this is not intended to be an ordinary sales job.

The right person will have the opportunity to become increasingly involved in the management, strategy, business development and day-to-day operation of gopuertoplata.com.

For someone who proves capable and wants to take on greater responsibility, this can ultimately develop into a no-investment partnership opportunity and a path to taking over the operation of the website and business when the current owner retires or is no longer able to continue operating it.

What would you be doing?

Your initial role will be to help grow the gopuertoplata.com business community by introducing local business owners to the opportunities available through the website.

You will:

• Contact and visit businesses throughout Puerto Plata.
• Explain how having a strong online presence can help businesses attract customers.
• Introduce business owners to the benefits of listing on gopuertoplata.com.
• Encourage businesses to enhance their online presence with descriptions, photographs, contact information, reviews, and other useful information.
• Develop relationships with local businesses and business owners.
• Identify opportunities to increase the website's usefulness and reach.
• Help develop new business and revenue opportunities.
• Provide feedback and ideas for improving the website and its services.

As your knowledge of the business develops, your involvement can expand into:

Business development • Sales management • Strategy • Marketing • Website operations • Revenue development • Day-to-day management

What makes this opportunity different?

You won't simply be selling somebody else's product and collecting a salary.

You will have the opportunity to help build a business in Puerto Plata and become increasingly involved in its future.

The current owner is looking to develop the business with someone who can eventually take over and own its operation.

There will be no requirement to invest financially in the business at any point.

Income

The initial role is commission-based, allowing you to earn from the business you develop.

In addition to sales commissions, 50% of additional income generated through increased website activity will be shared with the successful applicant, subject to the agreed business arrangements.

As your responsibilities and involvement increase, the opportunity can develop into a full partnership. You will be helping to build a business that you will have ownership of, and not just a job where you are working for someone else.

Who are we looking for?

You could be a good fit if you are:

• Fluent in Dominican Spanish.
• Able to communicate conversationally in English. Perfect English is not required; English training and support will be provided.
• Living in Puerto Plata City or the surrounding area.
• A natural salesperson who enjoys meeting people and can persuade business owners to consider new opportunities.
• Friendly, confident, and comfortable talking with business owners.
• A self-starter who does not need someone constantly telling you what to do.
• Ambitious, motivated, and goal-oriented.
• Interested in how the internet, Google, and online search can help businesses attract customers.
• Honest, reliable and professional.
• Comfortable working independently.
• Able to work full-time or part-time, with flexibility over when you work.
• Able to use a laptop, tablet or similar device.
• Mobile, or have reliable access to transportation.

You do not need to be an experienced website developer or SEO expert.

You need to understand people, understand business, be comfortable with technology, and be willing to learn. Your gender is not important.

Is this for you?

This opportunity may suit someone who:

• Wants more independence and flexibility than a conventional job provides.
• Enjoys sales and meeting people.
• Wants to build something of their own.
• Has entrepreneurial ambitions but does not have capital to invest in buying a business.
• Wants the opportunity to develop into a management role.
• Would eventually like to take responsibility for running a growing Puerto Plata-based online business.
