Smart Circle’s roots trace back to 1981, when Larry Tenebaum started his career in direct sales. The company started in Toronto, Canada, with Tenebaum selling products door-to-door. The company grew organically, adding clients from the food, restaurant, and sports industries to its roster.

Smart Circle International is a broker of outsourced sales that provides customized in-person and face-to-face marketing solutions to clients, inside retailers, Door-to-door, and business-to-business. The seed for Smart Circle was planted in 1981 when Larry Tenebaum entered the face-to-face marketing and in-person sales industry.

The Smart Circle Sales Network is comprised of independent sales companies who retain individual sales representatives. Sales representatives are retained by the independent sales company, and not employed by Smart Circle. Each sales representative working on a Smart Circle program has the opportunity to learn about face-to-face marketing and work with Smart Circle and its clients!

Sales representatives retained by independent sales companies and participating in a Smart Circle program are given the opportunity to work with some of the most promising local businesses as well as the world’s best and most well-known brands and retailers. In doing so, sales representatives gain hands-on experience with face-to-face and direct sales and marketing, whether at a local event, inside a national retail chain or via B2B canvassing. However, each independent sales company has its own unique training methodology and may assign duties to its sales representative as it deems appropriate.

Smart Circle has sales and marketing agreements with various clients, including Fortune 500 companies, professional sports teams, nationally recognized brands, retailers and regional and local businesses. Smart Circle contracts with independent sales companies whose respective sales representatives sell products and services through various channels to execute the face-to-face marketing and sales solution custom created by Smart Circle for the specific client.

In general, friendly, motivated, and industrious individuals tend to excel in sales positions. Each ICD defines success differently.

Each independent sales company is a separate company that is owned and operated by someone that was formerly a sales representative with another independent sales company in the Smart Circle Sales Network. Owning your own business is not for everyone, and many sales representatives don’t become independent sales company owners and some independent sales companies may decide it isn’t for them. For those that do become independent sales company owners, everyone’s journey is different in terms of path and time.

As mentioned above, each independent sales company working with Smart Circle is independently owned and operated by an individual that was formerly a sales representative for another independent sales company. This way, each independent sales company owner has hands-on field experience in face-to-face marketing, direct sales, team building and management, and familiarity and experience with client and program requirements. 

As in any business relationship, there are various requirements for the independent sales companies, including compliance with client and Smart Circle standards. Furthermore, Smart Circle requires in contract and principle that independent sales companies comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
