About the position
The REMOTE MEDIA AD SALES position at PRIMEDIA Network offers an exciting opportunity for individuals with a background in media advertising sales. This role is designed for motivated salespeople who thrive in a phone-based sales environment and are eager to leverage a simple yet effective sales system. The compensation structure is highly attractive, with the potential to earn between $2,000 to $10,000 or more per week, depending on performance. The position is flexible, allowing for full-time or part-time work, making it ideal for those who may already be engaged in remote work but are looking to supplement their income. PRIMEDIA Network is recognized as the nation's largest unwired National Network of Local TV stations, collaborating with major networks such as ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, and CW. With over 1,000 stations across 180 markets, the company specializes in selling unsold commercial inventory, akin to the model used by Hotels.com in the travel sector. In addition to television advertising, the company also offers opportunities in local radio, streaming TV, billboards, web design, and social media advertising. This diverse inventory provides salespeople with a vast array of products to sell, ensuring a steady stream of potential commissions. The company has developed a robust Media Management System that includes thousands of leads and contacts, enhancing the sales process significantly. This system is designed to be user-friendly, akin to a more advanced version of Sales Force, and includes comprehensive sales scripts and AI-driven automated follow-ups. The sales cycle is notably short, with proposals typically closing within seven days, and commissions are paid weekly, allowing for immediate financial rewards. The position also boasts a very limited competition landscape, as PRIMEDIA Network offers unique services that are not widely available in the market. Salespeople can set their own hours during the business week, providing flexibility to balance work and personal commitments. After an initial four-week base pay period, the role transitions to a straight commission structure, rewarding high performers with significant earnings potential.
