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.

Qualifications

  • Knowledge of and interest in knowledge management and business expertise issues and practices
  • People-oriented with high interpersonal and excellent communication skills using a variety of methods such as by telephone, e-mail and face-to-face contact
