Experience Level: Expert
My name is Richard and I head a small business that publishes a monthly magazine in the Leicester area and designs websites for businesses. We are looking for someone to take on some sales work for us.
What we do: The magazine is delivered free to 18,000 homes each month and is funded by getting local businesses to advertise with us. It is an A5 colour publication containing adverts and some feature content. A quality publication but with advertising rates more in line with local trade magazines.
The magazine is very popular with readers and businesses but we have never really had the time to push the sales to their full potential, most of the sales to date have just come to us. We have recently added website design and graphic design services to our offerings and with the success of these, we are becoming a little stretched in the sales area.
What we are looking for: To start off, we need help with bringing in new advert sales for the magazine from new customers, on a commission basis. This on its own won't make you rich but as we find the right candidate and build up trust there’s the possibility of us handing over the current client sales to you too. We may also require some help in web design sales and graphic design sales in the future too. There may even be the possibility of launching a second magazine if the right person were found to run the sales. No promises are being made at this point but there is genuine progression for the right person.
The position would ideally be suited to someone with knowledge of the Leicester area. It is also essential that we attract a friendly and non - pushy sales person to the role. Our sales are made from building relationships with local businesses, not by beating them into submission to gain a sale from them. The magazine's name on its own should be enough to open some doors on its own for you, most businesses who are aware of the magazine like it and value it.
Our website is www.littleknowitall.co.uk this will give you a feeling of what the magazine and business is about. Please take a look at the site before applying.
If you are looking for a long term opportunity and the chance to help grow and steer a business, this maybe the opportunity for you. We aren't offering lifestyle magazine rates to begin with, but we are offering a friendly non pressured role and great long term prospects to the right type of person.
