STOP LOOKING!

We offer qualified sales representatives the opportunity to sell an attractive, sensible, and proven advertising product. You bring the experience, intelligence, and work ethic. We’ll provide the extensive paid training, strong company support, and the highly rewarding compensation package that you need and deserve as you successfully build your sales career with our company.

Our Company:

We are the publisher of the HomePages® Directories, high quality, community-oriented hometown telephone books serving over 335 close-knit suburban cities and small towns in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio.

Our 10 year old firm grew by more than 20% in 2007, and is on pace to grow by 40% in 2008; nearly 40,000 businesses advertise in our publications annually. The concept behind our industry-leading success is simple: HomePages® Directories provide local business owners with an attractive, affordable, and community-based alternative to expensive and poorly targeted regional telephone directory advertising. Our record of steady, significant growth can be attributed to a well-received and distinctive product. Most importantly, though, our success as a company is the result of the efforts of the company’s talented and hardworking employees.

Candidate Requirements:

•Excellent Presentation Skills

•Top-Notch Organizational Skills

•Ability and Willingness to Prospect for new business

Candidate Profile:

If you are a dedicated sales hunter who enjoys selling to small business owners, and if you possess the ability to continually identify new business, close it, and move on to the next potential client, we want to meet with you. You are an ideal candidate if you can demonstrate a track record of strong time management skills, business-to-business sales endurance, and the ability to cut through the inevitable rejection to earn the rewarding and frequent yes.

Job Description:

HomePages® Account Managers take ownership of and manage 5-7 projects (publications) throughout the year. Each Account Manager has her/his own protected territory (located within 45 minutes of home) and works independently to meet daily goals and project deadlines.

The low price point and broad appeal of our publishing concept will allow you to close sales in one call or with one follow up call. Most HomePages® Account Managers close several sales each day.
