The Advertising Sales Executive is responsible for signing local business owners as advertisers for a community magazine. They will manage client relationships, schedule meetings, and help businesses select appropriate advertising options.
Advertising Sales Executive
Description:
Los Gatos 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 bike shop for the Saturday
riders, the pediatrician, the wine bar on North Santa Cruz Avenue, the realtor who knows every
house in Almond Grove. 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 Los Gatos, 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.
If you know Los Gatos and want to build a book of business here, apply. A real person reads
every application and replies within one business day.
