Dog Lover - Advertising Sales

 

 

 

Atlanta Dog Life premiered in July, 2006, and is quickly becoming THE magazine for Atlanta's Dogs and Their People.

Duties include:
* Developing new leads
* Maintain relationships and favorable contacts within the dog community
* Build relationships via phone and in-person contact
* Generate new business via in-person sales presentations
* Manage and service clients on an on-going basis
* Complete and supply documented paperwork as required
* Meet or exceed sales goals on a monthly basis

Requirements:
* You MUST be a dog person - There is NO wiggle room here, you must be a current or very recent dog owner and a true dog person.
* 2-3 experience in relevant sales, preferably in print media
* General knowledge of advertising and production deadlines
* Ability to work with minimal supervision
* Detail oriented and organized
* Cold-calling experience, both on the phone AND in person
