JOB DESCRIPTION – Sales Account Executive:

Are you the type of person that can walk into a room full of strangers and make friends? Do you enjoy the challenge of growing relationships? Are you a goal-setter who is obsessive about following up? Does the chance to grow current relationships intrigue you as much as finding new clients? Do others describe you as incredibly organized? Does the prospect of working with many clients on different facets of their businesses at the same time excite you? If so, we should talk. We are looking for a media sales executive that can lead an entire territory to the next level and beyond! The candidate selected will grow our current relationships, build new ones, and steadily increase our sales by reaching out to potential clients through in-person, written and phone communication.
