Senior Media Sales Account Executive

Company: Leading Ladies Magazine

Markets: South Florida, New York, Atlanta, Washington, DC, Chicago, Dallas, and Los Angeles

The most influential luxury brands want to reach women who lead. As a luxury quarterly print publication celebrating influential women in business, leadership, fashion, design, culture, and lifestyle, Leading Ladies Magazine puts those brands in front of that audience, in print, online, and in person.

We are expanding our national network of independent sales professionals and are looking for proven closers who already have the relationships to do this work well.

This is an independent contractor opportunity for established sellers who run their own business. It is not an entry-level position.

The Opportunity

You will represent a 25,000-copy quarterly print run distributed through luxury commercial venues across our markets, along with event sponsorships for our portfolio of more than a dozen annual signature events. Our media empire is helmed by an award-winning team of media professionals with more than 20 years of experience in publishing and event production.

You will bring brands integrated packages that combine the page with the room, which means larger deals, longer partnerships, and larger commissions.

How You Will Work

You set your own schedule, choose your own sales methods, and manage your own business expenses. You may continue representing non-competing clients and publications. Signed contracts and claimed prospects are submitted through our system for billing, fulfillment, and commission tracking.

Minimum Performance Standard

The annual revenue standard is $250,000 in print advertising and event sponsorship revenue, measured quarterly at $62,500 per quarter. The first-quarter standard is $40,000, ramping to the full quarterly standard after 90 days.

Compensation

Monthly retainer of $2,500 plus tiered, uncapped commission on collected revenue: 15% on the first $125,000, 20% up to $250,000, 30% up to $350,000, and 35% on everything above.

Compensation is paid on a 1099 basis.

What You Will Do

• Prospect, pitch, and close print advertising and event sponsorship packages

• Build and grow relationships with brand owners, marketing directors, and agency decision-makers

• Develop new business within your market

• Represent the magazine at client meetings, events, and industry gatherings

• Renew and expand partnerships issue after issue

Who We Are Looking For

• An exceptional independent sales professional with many years of successful experience in advertising, media, publishing, sponsorships, events, or luxury business development

• A documented track record of personally closing $250,000 or more in annual revenue

• An established network among decision-makers in luxury fashion, beauty, jewelry, hospitality, automotive, real estate, design, finance, wellness, travel, fine dining, or premium lifestyle brands

• Polished, self-directed, and comfortable owning a number

• An understanding that luxury sales are built on relationships, credibility, discretion, and exceptional service
