Media Sales Representative

Job description

If you love your community and want to get paid for building real relationships in it, this is the outside sales opportunity built for that — not a desk job, not a call center. Best Version Media has spent nearly 20 years bringing communities together across the United States and Canada — one person, one home, one business at a time. Today, more than 1,300 local magazines and a full suite of digital marketing solutions help tens of thousands of local businesses grow. We’re looking for the next person to build one in the area. **What You’ll Earn** - **Year 1 earning potential:** $65,000+ *(USD)* - **Year 2 earning potential:** $150,000+ *(USD)* - **Top performers:** exceed $1,000,000 in annual *sales volume* — and earn accordingly. Plus incentives: trips, recognition, and a community of peers who want you to win. - **Model:** 100% commission, independent-contractor business — uncapped, cumulative income for you and your family, with zero start-up costs, on a schedule you control. You launch as an **Associate Publisher** — BVM’s name for the people who sell for, and run, a community magazine — with bonus earnings while you build, and graduate to **Publisher**, earning 70% commission on collected sales above baseline (up to 80% with performance incentives) once your magazine reaches its revenue baseline. **Your Role** - **Consult:** Sit across the table from local business owners and help them solve the problem every one of them shares — being known by the households closest to them. - **Strategize:** Design each client’s full answer — their place in the neighborhood’s magazine, plus digital ads and their online presence — one program that works together, not one ad at a time. - **Scale:** Use our training and proven system to build a book of business that pays you for years, not just once. And you won’t do any of it alone: structured training, daily live coaching, and a local leader in your corner from day one. **What You’ll Sell** Guaranteed access to the neighborhood: a magazine about *their own community*, mailed into the exact homes around a business — kept on coffee tables for a month, not scrolled past in seconds — with premium placements beside the content people actually read, plus digital ads and an online presence already working when readers look the business up. Local owners don’t need another ad; they need their neighbors’ attention. That’s what you’ll sell. **What You Bring** - **Sales ability — or the drive to build it:** a track record of prospecting, negotiating, and closing helps — outside sales, D2D, real estate, and insurance backgrounds all do well here. No sales background required, though: if you’ve spent your career serving the public — retail, hospitality, education, healthcare — you already have the core skill: taking care of people. What our top Publishers share is motivation and consistency. You bring the drive; our training builds the rest. - **Your own transportation, phone, laptop, and reliable internet:** you’ll be meeting business owners in person, in your territory — our most successful Publishers make it a daily rhythm. - **Community focus:** a genuine interest in building and nurturing local business relationships. - **Room to build:** our most successful Publishers made this their primary professional focus during the build — the model rewards the ones who go all-in. **Why Best Version Media** - **Proven model:** 1,300+ magazines across North America, reaching millions of homes, and proudly serving 123,000+ local businesses over the last 20 years. - **Real support:** structured training, daily live coaching, and a local leadership team from day one — you’re in business *for* yourself, never *by* yourself. - **Standing:** ask our long-tenured Publishers what surprised them most — they’ve become some of the best-known people in their towns, the connector local businesses call first. **Ready to build something in your own community?** Apply today.
