Anticipated Start Date: Immediately
Location: This role is remote work-from-home; candidates must reside in the Barrie-Simcoe-Georgian Bay region.

Dockside Publishing Inc. was launched, quite literally, in 2012, with a single magazine that we delivered by boat to cottages on three lakes. We now publish magazines in several central Ontario markets, delivering to more than twenty lakes as well as to thousands of inland homes. We also have a growing collection of digital billboards. We remain independently owned and operated, with deep roots in the communities we serve.

We are seeking an Advertising Sales Representative to support the Barrie-Simcoe-Georgian Bay region.

In this role as Advertising Sales Representative, you will sell advertising in our high-quality magazines and our growing stable of digital billboards. But it\'s much more than just that. You will develop relationships with new and existing clients, helping owners grow their businesses through creative marketing.

You are an experienced sales professional comfortable making cold calls and working under deadlines. But the goal isn\'t just to sell something to any client; the goal is to connect with the right clients and to craft mutually beneficial, long-term relationships.

You will be part of a small, supportive team of salespeople, writers, photographers, and designers. Most of our print advertising is based on magazine articles, and you will have the opportunity to help shape the content our team creates. This is not the place to work in a sales silo: we put a premium on teamwork and innovation as we pursue excellence in all that we do.

Responsibilities for this position include but are not limited to:

• Prospecting and acquiring new clients through cold calling, networking, and other lead-generation strategies
• Conducting thorough needs assessments to understand clients\xe2\x80\x99 advertising goals and develop customized solutions
• Adhering to budget and timeframe
• Meeting and exceeding sales targets and objectives
• Building and maintaining strong, long-lasting client relationships; scheduling and attending appointments with new and existing clients; maintaining ongoing discussions concerning marketing plans and storylines
• Accurately maintaining discussion notes and following action items
• Helping to distribute publications as required
• Working and communicating effectively with all team members located in Simcoe, Muskoka, and beyond
• Participating in promotional and networking events

Qualifications: The ideal candidate for this position will possess the following:

• A University or College degree in business, marketing or a related field would be considered an asset
• Proven experience in advertising sales or a related field
• Ability to work independently as well as in a team environment
• Entrepreneurial spirit

• Highly motivated and adaptable, with the ability to work well under pressure
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
