Job description
**Turn your love of community into a career.** Best Version Media is looking for a driven, community-minded sales professional to join us as a Media Sales Representative. **About Best Version Media** Founded in 2007, Best Version Media (BVM) has spent nearly two decades bringing North American communities together one person, one home, one business at a time. Today, BVM publishes over 1,300 local magazines and reaches billions of digital impressions across North America, helping thousands of local business owners grow. **What You’ll Do** This is a field-based, in-person sales role. You’ll build your own book of business in your local territory, on a schedule you control, selling advertising placements across BVM’s local print magazine and companion digital, social, and website products. - **Consult:** Meet face-to-face with standout local business owners to showcase what makes their community great. - **Strategize:** Build powerful, multi-channel branding programs using our media suite, print, digital, social, websites, and reputation management. - **Scale:** Leverage our proven training and time-tested sales system to grow your own book of business, building community engagement that pays you and your community for years to come. **What You’ll Earn** This is a 1099 independent contractor role with no base salary or draw (full commission). Representatives earn a recurring commission on sales, with commission rates generally ranging from **70-80%** based on monthly sales volume and performance relative to the baseline\* cost structure. Bonuses are available during start-up and on an ongoing basis. \*Baseline is the back-end cost associated with the magazine & digital product’s cost to produce, distribute, bill clients, etc, and does not come out of the representative’s pocket. **What You Bring** - **Sales Acumen:** A drive to help local businesses grow through the art of advertising sales, strong communication, negotiation, and closing skills. Experience with digital or print advertising is a plus, but the right attitude matters most; we provide the training. - **Growth Mindset:** A resilient, never-give-up attitude paired with a proactive approach to learning and continuous self-improvement. - **Community Focus:** A genuine interest in building and nurturing relationships with local business owners, putting their success first. **Why Best Version Media?** - **Support:** Comprehensive training and ongoing professional support, we’re a community in ourselves. - **Proven Success:** Nearly 20 years serving local communities, with over 1,300 publications and a reach of billions of digital impressions across North America. - **Culture & Rewards:** Our why is simple: bring communities closer, one relationship at a time, and we celebrate the people who make that happen. - Earn incentive trips, awards, and friendly contests along the way, all within a flexible schedule built to keep you present for what matters most: friends and family. **Ready to make an impact in your local community?** Apply directly today — no fees, no redirects.
