Indianapolis Woman Careers
Advertising Sales Executive
Indianapolis Woman Magazine, a publication of Weiss Communications, is expanding its sales team to include savvy, energetic men and women who want a fast-paced rewarding career in advertising.
Responsibilities:
Manage sales accounts to service Indiana's largest consumer magazine. You will service, maintain and grow a client base. Make calls (phone, email and in-person meetings) with clients and prospective clients. Develop relationships with clients by taking initiative to look for solutions to their needs. This involves gaining their confidence and exploring opportunities to further their business.
Stay in touch with the events and issues that affect clients in order to better serve them. This means reading and otherwise consuming information/news available through news media, Internet, personal contacts, etc. Maintain a database of clients—pertinent information to best stay in contact with and serve their needs. Maintain weekly list of “call reports” to allow proper follow up and to keep supervisor informed.
Process
A "starter" list of prospects is given to each new Account Executive (AE). AE "works" the list, keeping it current in terms of contact information, updates, adding
new clients, etc. As sales occur, AE turns in proper paperwork to make sure ads run properly and billing is instituted in a timely manner.
AEs use their own automobile to make sales calls but are afforded a monthly expense budget to cover this and other expenses. AEs are paid commissions twice monthly as appropriate, per sales commission structure (per separate commission document).
