KnowMap Commissioned Sales Representatives
KnowMap: The Knowledge Management, Auditing and Mapping Magazine
Join our sales team and reap
your own rewards!
Work with an exciting team
and visionary Editorial Board!
KnowMap now into its second year of publication, entirely
on the web, has much to offer advertisers with its global perspective
and audience in over 60 countries. We have about 121,000 readers per
issue and are ranked midpoint or better in most listings of KM publications.
Further our link popularity is very strong and we have a reputation
for quality information on usable tools for knowledge management practitioners
and executives to implement KM in their organizations.
We are very excited about our growth and opportunities.
We are looking for enthusiastic sales representatives to sell ads and
subscriptions for our online magazine!
Location is not a problem. You can be virtually anywhere! So far districts
are not divided although we will maintain a list of all contacts made
by each sales person so that there are no territorial conflicts and
so we do not annoy our potential advertising clients with a barrage
of sales pitches.
Pay is strictly commission based and starts at 10% for subscription
sales and 15% for advertising sales. With performance your commission
will increase not just in volume but also in percentage retained. Increases
at 5% each will be based on bimonthly advertising sales performances
and will not exceed 30% in total. Subscription sales will remain at
10%.
Sales representatives may work together on a single contract or contracts.
However, the commission will be assessed on the basis of each sale,
not on each salesperson in the team.
Responsibilities
- Establish a client base of companies selling products and services
of interest to our target audience
- Find advertisers for Featured Jobs, Events and Reviews
- Sell banner advertising and other partnering opportunities for general
and sponsor levels as described on our Advertising
page
- Write up advertising and obtain approvals from client before sending
to the KnowMap Editor for uploading to the site
- Represent the opportunities for submitting articles as a means of
reducing advertising costs, even though this will result in lower
commissions
- Our Commissioned Sales Reps will effectively be running their own
business, working from the commissions earned from their sales. Advertising
materials will be made available on the Web, via Word documents and
on CD. Expenses such as travel, phone and Internet charges will be
the responsibility of the sales rep. Professional business cards will
be issued by KnowMap once sales commissions reach $1000
for the sales representative.
