CEO Life Chapter Director - Commission Sales & Networking in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
This is a commission-only, part-time sales/business development role framed as a community-building opportunity. Here's how to evaluate it honestly from a career perspective:
Compensation reality check: The $5,000–$10,000/month target is achievable only if you consistently recruit 2–4 high-ticket members per month. With a 25% commission structure, implied membership values would need to be in the $5,000–$10,000+ annual range per member. There is no base salary, so income is entirely variable and dependent on personal performance.
Skills developed:
- High-level relationship building and consultative selling with C-suite executives
- Pipeline management and CRM discipline
- Personal brand development within a local business ecosystem
- Event-based community engagement
These are genuinely valuable skills, particularly for careers in business development, executive recruiting, financial advisory, or entrepreneurship.
Green flags: Part-time flexibility, complimentary membership with real networking value, proven tools and corporate support, clear KPIs.
Red flags: No base salary creates financial risk, especially for those new to commission sales. "Target income" language is aspirational, not guaranteed. Actual earnings depend heavily on the local market and existing network depth. This should be treated as a supplemental income role, not a primary career move, until income consistency is proven.
Best fit: Established professionals in San Diego with existing executive-level relationships who want a structured side income and meaningful network expansion.
Chapter Director – San Diego, CA
Part-Time | Commission-Based | Local Market
Build Relationships. Build Your Network. Build Your Income. Build CEO Life in Your City.
CEO Life is building a nationwide community of CEOs, entrepreneurs, business owners, and C-suite executives who believe that business and life is better when the right people are connected.
We are looking for highly connected, relationship-driven individuals to serve as Chapter Directors in each of our local markets.
This is not a traditional sales job. The Chapter Director is one of the boots-on-the-ground relationship builders responsible for growing the CEO Life community within their city. You'll meet exceptional business leaders, make meaningful introductions, attend incredible events, and help identify the people who belong inside CEO Life.
In return, you'll have the opportunity to earn $5,000–$10,000+ per month in additional income, receive a complimentary CEO Life membership, and become one of the most connected people in your city's business community. And it's designed to be done part-time.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Each CEO Life Chapter will have a team of four Chapter Directors working under the leadership of the Chapter President. Your primary objective is simple: Bring 2–4 exceptional new members into CEO Life each month.
CEO Life provides Chapter Directors with access to a proven suite of tools, systems, resources, marketing assets, and strategies designed to help identify and engage qualified prospective members. Your job is to bring the most important ingredient: Relationships.
You should enjoy meeting people, building trust, making introductions, creating opportunities, and bringing great people together. We are not looking for high-pressure salespeople. We are looking for connectors.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
As a Chapter Director, you will:
- Build relationships with CEOs, entrepreneurs, business owners, and C-suite executives throughout your market.
- Identify and introduce qualified prospective members to CEO Life.
- Leverage CEO Life's proven suite of prospecting, outreach, marketing, and relationship-building tools to consistently generate opportunities.
- Personally contribute 2–4 new CEO Life members per month.
- Attend and actively participate in your chapter's monthly CEO Life event.
- Welcome prospective and new members into the community.
- Help create connections between members and prospects when appropriate.
- Represent CEO Life professionally throughout the local business community.
- Collaborate with your Chapter President and fellow Chapter Directors to grow the chapter.
- Participate in regular accountability, pipeline, and performance meetings with your Chapter President.
- Become an ambassador for the CEO Life brand and mission within your city.
COMPENSATION
Chapter Directors earn 25% commission on membership revenue they personally generate, subject to the applicable compensation plan and payment terms.
With CEO Life memberships typically representing a significant annual investment, adding just 2–4 members per month can create meaningful additional income.
Target Income Opportunity: $5,000–$10,000+ per month
There is no artificial ceiling on what a successful Chapter Director can earn. Actual earnings depend on memberships sold, membership pricing, collections, and individual performance. This is designed as a part-time opportunity with substantial income potential, particularly for someone who already has relationships within their local business community.
BUT THE BIGGEST BENEFIT MAY NOT BE THE COMMISSION
Imagine spending the next several years intentionally building relationships with some of the most successful CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners in your city. That's what this role gives you the opportunity to do.
As a Chapter Director, you're not networking from the outside. You're helping build the room.
You'll have a reason to meet extraordinary people every week. You'll make introductions. You'll invite leaders into the community. You'll develop relationships with people you may never otherwise have had the opportunity to know.
Over time, the goal is for our Chapter Directors to become some of the most well-connected people in their respective cities. That network can become invaluable personally and professionally.
COMPLIMENTARY CEO LIFE MEMBERSHIP
Active Chapter Directors in good standing receive a complimentary CEO Life membership, giving you the opportunity to participate in the same community you are helping build. That means access to:
- CEO Life's local community of business leaders
- Monthly chapter events
- Relationship-building opportunities
- Member-to-member connections
- The broader CEO Life network
- Opportunities to build relationships beyond your local market
You're not simply selling membership into a community. You're becoming part of it.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
You may be an excellent Chapter Director if you are:
- Naturally relationship-oriented
- Well-connected or highly motivated to become well-connected
- Comfortable speaking with successful business owners and executives
- Someone who genuinely enjoys bringing people together
- Entrepreneurial and self-motivated
- Comfortable working in a performance-driven environment
- Organized enough to consistently manage a relationship pipeline
- Coachable and willing to use proven systems rather than reinventing them
- Comfortable being held accountable to measurable goals
- Professional, trustworthy, and credible
- Excited about becoming highly involved in your local business community
You do not necessarily need to be a career salesperson. Some of our strongest Chapter Director candidates may come from industries built around relationships—real estate, financial services, professional services, technology, consulting, recruiting, healthcare, hospitality, private equity, banking, insurance, or entrepreneurship.
What matters most is your ability to connect with people, build trust, follow a system, and execute consistently.
YOUR SUPPORT SYSTEM
You won't be expected to figure this out alone. CEO Life has developed a growing suite of proven tools and systems designed to support Chapter Directors in identifying, engaging, and converting qualified prospective members. You'll work alongside:
- 1 Chapter President – Leading the chapter, managing the Chapter Director team, overseeing the member community, and driving local execution.
- 4 Chapter Directors – Serving as the relationship-driven, boots-on-the-ground growth team.
- Corporate Support – Providing the systems, marketing infrastructure, technology, training, tools, and resources designed to help each chapter grow.
PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS
This is a flexible, part-time role, but it is not a passive role. Every Chapter Director is expected to contribute directly to chapter growth.
- Primary KPI: 2–4 New Members Per Month
- Monthly Event Attendance: Be present, engaged, and actively involved at the chapter's monthly event.
- Pipeline Activity: Maintain consistent prospective-member activity using CEO Life's systems and tools.
- Relationship Development: Continuously expand your relationships within the local CEO, entrepreneur, and business-owner community.
- Accountability: Report to the Chapter President and participate in regular pipeline and performance accountability.
