Job description

Overview

Stop managing a capped book of business and start building your own. Best Version Media offers a high-performance, turn‑key opportunity for sales professionals who thrive on the hunt. Own a local territory, drive new business, and build a multichannel marketing portfolio with no startup costs and no cap on your income.

Your Role

• Prospect: Build a high‑velocity sales pipeline through direct outreach to local decision‑makers. You’re the primary growth engine in your market.
• Sell: As an independent contractor, you’ll execute face‑to‑face marketing pitches. You’ll offer a top‑of‑the‑line product suite, including premium print, hyper‑targeted digital ads, and online reputation tools that solve challenges for local business owners.
• Launch: Follow our proven blueprint to hit your sales baseline and launch your publication. Most launch within 3‑4 months, but top producers can go to print in as few as 13‑25 days.
• Scale: Our established infrastructure helps you build a durable, high‑volume portfolio. Once your magazine is live, you focus on compounding your income by retaining existing accounts while hunting for new ones.
• Dominate: Use our professional training and data‑backed systems to become the go‑to marketing authority in your local community.

Earning Potential

This is a fully commission‑based role for those who want to be paid exactly what they’re worth. Unlike traditional 'hunt-and-kill' sales roles, our commission model is cumulative. Most achieve:

1. Year 1: $65K – $100K (Target)
2. Year 2+: $150K – $250K+ (High Performer)
3. Top Producers: $1.5M – $3.9M+ total career earnings

Relevant Experience

We value your track record of winning more than a specific degree. We train the product, but you bring the sales discipline. This role is for you if you are:

• Entrepreneurial: You want the autonomy of business ownership with the backing of a major corporation.
• Competitive: You have a "top of the leaderboard" mentality and a strong work ethic.
• Self‑starter: You don’t need a manager to tell you to pick up the phone.
• Resilient and driven: You view "No" as a stepping stone to the next "Yes."
• A proven closer: You have a background in B2B sales, business development, or high-ticket closing.
