About LocaliQ

At LocaliQ, part of the USA TODAY Network, we help local businesses grow through powerful, data-driven marketing solutions. We bring together marketing expertise, technology, and the reach of a nationally recognized media network to help businesses connect with customers and achieve their goals.

As an Inside Sales / Account Advisor, you'll work directly with small and mid-sized businesses to understand their needs and connect them with marketing solutions designed to help them grow. You'll have the opportunity to sell across a broad portfolio of solutions, including SEM, SEO, Social Media, YouTube, OTT/CTV, Display, Websites, and more.

This is a high-activity sales environment where consistency, resilience, and a willingness to put in the work directly contribute to your success.

About the Role

Our Inside Sales / Account Advisor role is a full-cycle, high-activity sales position for someone who enjoys prospecting, building relationships, and owning their results.

You'll be responsible for developing new business, growing existing accounts, and managing opportunities throughout the sales process. You'll connect with business owners and decision-makers through outbound calls and virtual meetings, uncover their marketing needs, and recommend solutions that align with their goals.

This role provides the opportunity to operate with a high level of autonomy while having the support, training, technology, and resources of a nationally recognized organization behind you.

You'll manage your pipeline in Salesforce, maintain consistent prospecting activity, conduct virtual client meetings, present tailored marketing solutions, and help ensure a smooth transition from sale to campaign launch.

In your first 90 days, you'll participate in hands-on training, learn LocaliQ's products and sales approach, build your pipeline, and develop the habits needed to succeed in a high-activity sales environment. As you ramp, you'll take increasing ownership of your pipeline, client relationships, and revenue goals.

What You Will Do

• Drive new business and grow existing accounts through 50+ outbound calls per day and consistent prospecting.
• Conduct virtual client meetings to uncover business needs, challenges, and growth opportunities.
• Build and manage a strong sales pipeline in Salesforce.
• Prospect for new business while identifying opportunities to grow existing accounts.
• Recommend and sell bundled, multi-channel marketing solutions based on client goals.
• Present marketing solutions across areas such as SEM, SEO, Social Media, YouTube, OTT/CTV, Display, Websites, and more.
• Manage opportunities throughout the sales process and consistently work toward revenue goals.
• Maintain accurate CRM activity, pipeline information, and follow-up.
• Coordinate with internal teams on creative assets and campaign setup to help ensure a successful post-sale experience.
• Consistently meet activity expectations and performance goals in a fast-paced, high-activity environment.

You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy a fast pace, like having clear goals to work toward, and take ownership of your results. The strongest performers understand that success comes from consistent daily activity, strong follow-through, coachability, and a willingness to keep improving.

You’ll have autonomy in your day-to-day work, but you won’t be on your own. LocaliQ provides the training, coaching, tools, and support needed to help you build your skills and grow your career.
