Help Wanted: Salem-News.com Needs Sales Associates

Looking for a few good people to sell a great media product.

(SALEM, Ore.) - We reported recently that Salem-News.com's ranking is rising substantially on the Internet. The advertising viability of the site is climbing along with those statistics, and we are looking for team members to carry this product out to businesses that badly need Internet promotion.

Never before has information about a media company been so readily available. Alexa.com is the primary tool used by business to evaluate Websites they want to work with. This is Alexa.com's page ranking of Salem-News.com.

We need help in a number of areas when it comes to sales. This non-traditional up-and-coming news agency has a major draw, we seriously need good sales people preferably with background in media sales.

Local Sales

We need local sales representatives in Oregon and Washington. From southern Oregon, to the Oregon coast, Eugene, Salem, Portland, Bend and eastern Oregon and all points in between, we need help reaching out to business, and would eventually like to have permanent contract representatives in all of these locations.

Regional Sales

Salem-News.com has several writers on the east coast of the U.S., and even more in California. Each of these regions has a good reason to advertise on Salem-News.com, as our stories are already showing regularly under Internet searches in the respective areas.

National Sales

One dynamic about Salem-News.com is our international presence. Our reporters have spent time on the ground in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, Palestine and Lebanon, and we have regular contributions from staff members in different parts of Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Japan, Vietnam and other locations. We are a huge site for American ex-pats and we have significant traffic from Canada, the UK and other western countries, and also strong traffic from the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, India, Pakistan and many other countries. We believe the site is extremely viable as a marketing option all types of national products.

How it works

All sales positions with Salem-News.com are contract sales positions. We pay 25% commission for all sales, this is considerably higher than most media groups. Positions are staffed by motivated people who know how to sell and have some idea of what Internet news is and the associated types of advertising.

This is a fantastic opportunity for people who want to help drive our success. This is a company founded in a very hard and solid work ethic and we have been publishing news seven days a week for almost six years. Now the world is finally waking up to the fact that this is one hot ticket for advertising, and we are ready to go.

We have a new media kit which is five pages and produced to a very high standard. This media kit is a PDF and sales associates will have possession of it to forward to clients.

We will spend time with new sales staff in Oregon, others we can work with also, though most training and familiarization will take place via phone and Internet.
