Are you worth $1,622,400 per year?
This is the opportunity you have been waiting for.
This is well worth looking into.
208 retained clients × 12 qualifying bookings each × $650. A hypothetical year-two annual gross commission illustration. It assumes every client rebooks monthly and every booking includes qualifying Spotlight.
Treasure Hunts USA helps local businesses attract customers through a month-long treasure hunt featuring a $10,000 prize. As an independent sales agent, you sell businesses an advertising and participation package that makes their location a stop in the hunt.
Hunters visit participating businesses and complete the approved verification steps in their own app. THUSA verifies qualifying visits or optional purchase receipts and releases personal clues directly; vendor staff focus on serving customers. No purchase is required to participate. Vendors gain opportunities to make sales, introduce their business to new customers, and earn repeat visits—without a required promotional discount.
Build your book of business. The path starts with four new clients a week for a year. Year two assumes all 208 remain active. See the complete math and adjust the assumptions.

Build relationships in year one. Pursue repeat bookings and expand your client base in year two.
HYPOTHETICAL YEAR-TWO GROSS COMMISSIONS
$1,622,400208 retained clients × 12 qualifying bookings each × $650
This illustration assumes 100% client retention, an available approved event every month for every client, and a qualifying $2,000 participation sale plus optional Spotlight on every booking. Each $650 is $500 participation commission + $150 Spotlight. It is a hypothetical target before taxes and expenses, not expected or proven earnings.
Why would a merchant book again?
Merchants advertise to compete and build their businesses. Consider the simple math: if a merchant’s $2,000 participation produces $12,500 in revenue, that is $6.25 in revenue for every $1 spent on participation. A merchant who experiences that result has a compelling reason to consider another booking—and an agent has a clear reason to follow up and build the relationship.
This is a hypothetical revenue example, not a reported merchant result or a profit calculation. Actual results vary; repeat bookings and retention of all 208 clients remain assumptions.
208 clients. 12 bookings each.
Start year two with all 208 clients retained. Secure a fresh qualifying booking from each, every month: 2,496 bookings over the year. The model requires an approved event to be available each month in every client’s area.
Keep building your business
Serve returning vendors, add new clients and explore approved areas as hunts are scheduled. Sales leadership offers a separate path; no manager commissions or new year-two clients are included in this illustration.
Put your own numbers to work.
Try fewer retained clients, fewer repeat bookings or a different Spotlight mix. Each client uses the same booking mix below.
YOUR YEAR-TWO SCENARIO
$1,622,400Gross agent commissions before taxes and expenses
- 2,496 qualifying participation sales × $500
- $1,248,000
- 2,496 qualifying Spotlight upgrades × $150

Repeat business takes fresh selling and follow-through. Each booking must qualify for your commission; renewals and commissions are not automatic. Future events, retention and upgrade purchases are assumptions. The calculator uses the standard $2,000 participation fee; authorized discounts reduce the participation commission.
A Sales Process Designed to Help You Close
You offer business owners something concrete: participation in an event designed to bring people into their location.
You begin by explaining the offer and securing the vendor’s signed participation commitment. Prepaid vendors are asked to pay after at least 50 approved vendors have signed for the same event dates and the company formally confirms the event. They then have 48 hours after receiving both written confirmation and the payment request to pay.
That sequence lets you explain how the event comes together before asking the vendor for payment. Presentations, sales literature, training, and an online workspace support your work from the first conversation through follow-up.
Build Your Commission Opportunity
The agent earns 25% of the agreed participation price: $500 on a qualifying $2,000 sale. The supervising manager earns a separate 5%, or $100 on that sale. A qualifying optional Vendor Spotlight upgrade adds $150 to the agent, bringing the agent’s combined commission to $650. Your approved written agreement controls your rate and payment conditions.
Optional Vendor Spotlight: $200. A qualifying upgrade adds $150 to the agent’s commission. Offer it only when ordering is enabled for your assigned event and your written terms include it.
As you build relationships with participating businesses, you also build a base for future event conversations. A vendor who has a positive experience already understands the concept, giving you a stronger starting point for renewal while you recruit additional businesses.
This is a commission-based independent contractor opportunity. Earnings depend on qualifying completed sales; vendor participation, renewals, attendance, and sales results are not guaranteed.

A BUSINESS CONVERSATION WITH A CLEAR PURPOSE
Give local owners
something concrete to consider.
You’re introducing an event designed to help people discover local businesses. Owners can see the offer, explore the hunt, and understand how THUSA handles verification and clue delivery before deciding.
A clear reason to visit
Hunters choose participating businesses and qualify through a verified no-purchase visit or an optional qualifying purchase. THUSA delivers their personal clues through the app.
An experience you can show
Walk an owner through the sample hunt, business map, and vendor tools. Explain the promotion specified in that event’s agreement.
Keep staff focused on customers
The approved program requires no staff PIN checks, visit approvals, receipt verification, or clue distribution. THUSA handles the hunt process while the business serves its customers.
A clear offer makes the conversation easier. It still takes prospecting, follow-up, and an owner’s decision. Visitor numbers, spending, and vendor profit are not guaranteed.

5% of the $2,000 participation fee
Explore the manager role 5% of the $2,000 participation fee
The standard prepaid participation fee is $2,000. Agent participation commission is 25%; the supervising manager’s separate share is 5%. Authorized agreed prices of $1,500–$2,000 produce $375–$500 for the agent and $75–$100 for the manager. Spotlight remains a separate $150 agent addition on a qualifying upgrade, with no additional manager Spotlight commission. Your signed agreement sets your rate, responsibilities, sales credit and payment conditions; previously agreed sales retain their own terms.
25% AGENT · 5% MANAGER
The commission behind
your growing client base.
See the $1,622,400 hypothetical year-two illustration
At the standard $2,000 participation fee, the agent’s 25% commission is $500 and the supervising manager’s separate 5% share is $100. Vendor Spotlight adds a business photo or logo, a short highlight and a website link in a rotating Featured Businesses section for the event. A qualifying upgrade adds $150 to the agent, for $650 total.
Approved offer: $200 optional promotion, $150 additional agent commission. The promotion runs from publication through 30 days after the event ends. Ordering must be enabled for your assigned event and included in your written commission terms before you offer it. Extra exposure does not guarantee visits or sales.
| Qualifying sales | Agent participation 25% · $500 per sale | Agent with Spotlight $650 per upgraded sale | Supervising manager 5% · $100 per team sale |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 sales | $5,000 | $6,500 | $1,000 |
| 20 sales | $10,000 | $13,000 | $2,000 |
| 50 sales | $25,000 | $32,500 | $5,000 |
All examples use the standard $2,000 participation fee. The Spotlight column assumes every sale includes a qualifying upgrade; the agent participation and Spotlight columns are alternatives, not amounts to add together. The manager column uses assigned-team participation sales only. These are illustrations, not expected earnings or a promised timeframe. Explore different sales totals and upgrade counts below.
050 sales
At the $2,000 participation fee, the agent earns 25% ($500). Each qualifying Spotlight upgrade adds a separate $150, totaling $650 on an upgraded sale. Set this count to zero for participation-only sales or choose a mix.
Each event repeats the sales mix entered above. Event count does not imply a monthly or annual schedule. The 50-sale display range is not a recruitment cap.
YOUR ILLUSTRATIVE COMMISSION
$13,00020 qualifying vendor sales × $500
+ 20 qualifying Spotlight upgrades × $150
Every sale in this example includes Spotlight: $500 participation + $150 Spotlight = $650 per qualifying upgraded sale.Planned Spotlight program; not yet open for sale. Availability and written commission terms must be confirmed before offering it. These examples use the standard $2,000 participation fee. Authorized discounts reduce participation commissions at the same 25% agent and 5% manager rates; Spotlight remains separate. These are gross arithmetic projections, not expected or typical earnings. Before taxes and personal expenses. All applicable event, verified-payment, individual commission and attribution conditions still apply. Your signed agreement controls; no automatic renewal commissions are promised.
ONE SHARED EVENT ROSTER
5 agents × 10 different vendors = 50 vendors
At the $2,000 participation fee, ten qualifying sales produce $5,000 for each agent and the 50 assigned team sales produce $5,000 for their supervising manager. With all 50 sales also including qualifying Spotlight upgrades, each agent’s combined projection is $6,500; the manager’s separate participation share remains $5,000. These are 50 total vendor sales across the team, including 50 upgrades.
YOUR FIRST SALE BUILDS MORE THAN ONE OPPORTUNITY
Do the groundwork once.
Build on it at the next event.
Finding the decision-maker, giving the first presentation and following up can take several contacts. That first effort introduces both you and an unfamiliar idea. A satisfied returning vendor already knows the experience, so your next conversation can be much simpler.
The first sale establishes trust
Learn the owner’s goals, demonstrate the hunt, answer questions and help complete the agreement. You are developing a business relationship you can build on when another approved event is offered.
Success gives the next sale a head start
When a vendor finds participation worthwhile and profitable, the next discussion can begin with their own experience. Review their results and feedback, explain the next event and ask for the next commitment. You may need much less explanation and follow-up than the first time.
Use that time to grow your roster
Easier repeat conversations can free more time to approach new businesses. Agents can develop a larger list of participating vendors; managers can coach their teams to serve returning vendors and keep adding new ones in their approved areas.
Illustration: 20 qualifying agent sales with Spotlight in each of 3 separate approved events would total $39,000 at $650 per upgraded sale. Without upgrades, those same 60 qualifying $2,000 participation sales would total $30,000 at the 25% agent rate ($500 per sale). No monthly or annual event schedule is assumed.
The opportunity is to make future selling more efficient. Future events, vendor profit, repeat participation and the time needed to close are not guaranteed. Each event still requires a new qualifying sale and the applicable assignment under your agreement; commissions and renewal rights are not automatic.
A SALES PROCESS DESIGNED TO HELP YOU CLOSE
Build the commitments.
Then request payment.
You can discuss participation without asking the vendor to pay the full prepaid fee while you are still assembling the event. The approved commitment process addresses a key concern: paying before the company has confirmed that the event will go forward.
1. Begin with interest
Ask whether the event fits the business and agree on a clear next step. This lower-pressure first conversation helps you identify interested owners. An early business-interest submission is nonbinding and creates no fee obligation.
2. Secure the written commitment
When final enrollment is open, the authorized representative reviews and accepts the vendor agreement, including its payment conditions. At least 50 approved current signed commitments accepting the same proposed dates are needed for the confirmation process. Interest alone does not count.
3. Follow through after confirmation
The company formally confirms the event; the assigned agent or manager delivers the written confirmation and payment request. The prepaid vendor then has 48 elapsed hours after receiving both documents to pay. The later receipt starts the clock—this is a real contractual deadline.
One shared event target. Fifty is the minimum across the event, not a quota for each agent or a recruitment cap. Additional vendors may be recruited to allow for nonpayment and add participation funds for promotion. Record actual receipt of both notices; copying or sending a notice alone does not start the payment clock.
Recruitment, postponement and full refunds. If fewer than 50 qualifying vendors pay in full, the Company has two weeks after the initial vendors’ 48-hour payment deadlines expire to recruit additional vendors or decide to cancel. The Company may postpone the entire hunt once by up to 30 days from the original opening, moving the closing date equally. By the postponed opening, the event must satisfy all launch requirements and proceed, or the Company must cancel and refund all vendor payments in full. There is no second postponement or further recruitment extension. An authorized postponement alone does not permit vendor withdrawal or a refund. If the Company cancels, all vendor payments are refunded in full, including Spotlight even after publication.
When commissions are paid. Both agents and managers are paid within five business days after the last applicable commission condition is satisfied: at least 50 current approved signed vendors in the same event have paid their required participation fees in full, the event is formally confirmed, and all individual commission and payment conditions are met. Business days exclude Saturdays, Sundays, U.S. federal holidays and their observed weekdays; deadlines use the event’s local time zone. Your signed agreement controls your rate and sales credit.
