Description du poste

If you love your community and want to get paid for building real relationships in it, this is the outside sales opportunity built for that — not a desk job, not a call center.

Best Version Media has spent nearly 20 years bringing communities together across the United States and Canada — one person, one home, one business at a time. Today, more than 1,300 local magazines and a full suite of digital marketing solutions help tens of thousands of local businesses grow. We’re looking for the next person to build one in the area.

What You’ll Earn

• Year 1 earning potential: $65,000+ (USD)
• Year 2 earning potential: $150,000+ (USD)
• Top performers: exceed $1,000,000 in annual sales volume — and earn accordingly. Plus incentives: trips, recognition, and a community of peers who want you to win.
• Model: 100% commission, independent-contractor business — uncapped, cumulative income for you and your family, with zero start-up costs, on a schedule you control. You launch as an Associate Publisher — BVM’s name for the people who sell for, and run, a community magazine — with bonus earnings while you build, and graduate to Publisher, earning 70% commission on collected sales above baseline (up to 80% with performance incentives) once your magazine reaches its revenue baseline.

Your Role

• Consult: Sit across the table from local business owners and help them solve the problem every one of them shares — being known by the households closest to them.
• Strategize: Design each client’s full answer — their place in the neighborhood’s magazine, plus digital ads and their online presence — one program that works together, not one ad at a time.
• Scale: Use our training and proven system to build a book of business that pays you for years, not just once.

And you won’t do any of it alone: structured training, daily live coaching, and a local leader in your corner from day one.

What You’ll Sell

Guaranteed access to the neighborhood: a magazine about their own community, mailed into the exact homes around a business — kept on coffee tables for a month, not scrolled past in seconds — with premium placements beside the content people actually read, plus digital ads and an online presence already working when readers look the business up. Local owners don’t need another ad; they need their neighbors’ attention. That’s what you’ll sell.

What You Bring

• Sales ability — or the drive to build it: a track record of prospecting, negotiating, and closing helps — outside sales, D2D, real estate, and insurance backgrounds all do well here. No sales background required, though: if you’ve spent your career serving the public — retail, hospitality, education, healthcare — you already have the core skill: taking care of people. What our top Publishers share is motivation and consistency. You bring the drive; our training builds the rest.
• Your own transportation, phone, laptop, and reliable internet: you’ll be meeting business owners in person, in your territory — our most successful Publishers make it a daily rhythm.
• Community focus: a genuine interest in building and nurturing local business relationships.
• Room to build: our most successful Publishers made this their primary professional focus during the build — the model rewards the ones who go all-in.

Why Best Version Media

• Proven model: 1,300+ magazines across North America, reaching millions of homes, and proudly serving 123,000+ local businesses over the last 20 years.
• Real support: structured training, daily live coaching, and a local leadership team from day one — you’re in business for yourself, never by yourself.
• Standing: ask our long-tenured Publishers what surprised them most — they’ve become some of the best-known people in their towns, the connector local businesses call first.
