Job description

You’ll combine consultative sales with hands‑on coaching, helping schools create successful yearbook programs while building long‑term customer relationships.
This isn’t a traditional sales role. One day you may be helping students improve their yearbook design or photography. The next, you may be working with an adviser on deadlines, marketing, or budget challenges, followed by a meeting with a prospective school to earn their business.
You’ll have the opportunity to make an impact, build lasting relationships, grow your territory, and increase your earnings through uncapped commission.

- You’ll have access to Salesforce, an iPad Pro, laptop, software, and dedicated internal support teams.
- Walsworth invests in its sales team and provides opportunities to build a long‑term career within the organization.
- You’re not simply selling a product. You’re helping students and educators create a publication that captures memories, tells their school’s story, and lasts for generations.
