I'm getting a job at a sales office, check this out
Hello fellow Warriors,
I was offered a job at my University's town newspaper. I was asked to sell advertising in the newspaper. The newspaper comes out daily, and I would only have to work about 15 hours a week. They start you off with 150 accounts, and you work your way up from there at 9% commission. No base.
I'm a college student and need some money, so I wanted to ask if anyone's ever sold advertising for a print agency like a newspaper or a magazine, and what experiences you've had with it.
In addition, I wanted to tell you all a bit about my interesting interview. It was a set of questions as usual, but at the end, I was asked to do a little homework assignment that I've never done before. The task was to create an ad using my skills and positive attributes in order to "SELL" myself to the newspaper ads manager who was hiring me. The idea was that if I was hired, I would talk to many small brick-and-mortars without huge budgets, so it would be necessary to create ads every once in a while on-the-spot, to help sign the deal with a prospect. The manager wanted to see what I can come up with, and here it is (attached). She said it could be any product, be it toothpaste or airplanes or gravel - anything goes. What do you think?
Best Regards,
