17-year-old Westside Today, LLC publishes six community newsmagazines and a website. We publish Beverly Hills 90210, Bel-Air View, Brentwood News, Santa Monica Sun, Palisades 90272 and Malibu Beach. See www.WestsideToday.com.
We seek someone methodical to work the phones and call on prospective advertising clients. We sell print and website ads. One day you might be working restaurants; the next day it might be real estate agents; the next day Hollywood studios; the next day something else.
You will set up appointments for our senior AEs who will actually go out, meet the client, do the deal, etc. Your role is to generate the lead in the first place. A good appointment setter is expected to set up one good appointment per hour.
Great phone voice, friendly demeanor and persistence needed. You also need to be organized and keep track of calls made, etc.
Typical shifts are 3-4 hours a day, 2-5 days a week, depending on your schedule and aptitude. We're pretty flexible. If you want to work on a commission-only basis, you can do this from home.
For those who work out of our Brentwood office, you will get $8 an hour as an advance against 5% of all sales that result from appointments you set up.
It might take 20 calls to get one hot lead; you can't get discouraged when you hear the first 19 "no's." Each "no" just brings you that much closer to a "yes"!
This can be quite lucrative for a person who likes this and who is good at it. If you make an appointment an hour and your senior AE closes every third appointment you set up (typical), and if our typical deal runs about $3,000, you'd get 5% of that, or $150. If it took you three hours' worth of phone calls in order to make this happen, you're actually earning $50 an hour!
There are no guarantees, some are great at this, some aren't. We can usually tell how well you will do after about two weeks. Experience is a big plus, you'll know what you're getting yourself into here. Some love it, some hate it. Times are tougher than normal right now, no doubt about it. But that's why people should WANT to advertise, they need to generate customers, too.
The AE you will be assigned to typically won't close a deal on the first appointment, it can easily take 3-4 visits, so there is some lag time here before you get up to speed. We'll need your help putting together prospect lists, that takes some time. We'll get you started, but as soon as possible, we want you to be able to work on your own, generating your own leads, making the calls, keeping this all organized. Facility with computers, sending out emails, doing searches, etc. is a big plus.
If you discover you really like advertising sales, you can become an AE someday.
Send me a short email telling me why you think you'd be great at this. No resumes required. Tell me if you've done this before -- and how you did.
