Job description

Advertising Sales Executive

Description

Bend is getting a new monthly magazine about the people who live here. We need the person who signs its first advertisers. Your clients are the businesses your neighbors already use: the snow removal crew, the bikeshop, the brewery everyone meets at, the realtor who sold half the street in NorthWestCrossing. Each advertiser you sign earns you commission every month they run.

Pay

Average first-year earnings are $65,000–$100,000, with the potential to earn $150,000+ in year two. Actual earnings depend on sales performance. This is a 1099 independent contractor opportunity. Earn recurring commissions of up to 80%, depending on monthly sales volume and performance relative to benchmark production and operating costs. Those costs are not paid out of pocket by the contractor.

The work

Each day, you schedule three new meetings with local business owners and help the ones who fit choose an ad. You set your own hours. We've been publishing community magazines for over six years. We handle ad design, editorial, magazine design, printing, delivery and billing. You build the relationships.

Who does well here

You live in or near Bend, and you like talking to people you haven't met yet. We love people with sales experience. If you're newer to sales, our training and systems give you a foundation to build on. It starts with a three-day live training, and the coaching keeps going after you launch.
