Job: Sales persons
Job Description
The position is for an advert salesperson who will
sell display advertisingspace for a group of community
newspapers covering neighbourhoods across Nigeria, though primarily in Lagos.
The publications cover issues of concern and interest to residents and
businesses of coverage areas.
Each local edition reflects the community
and tells its stories. It makes national and international news stories relate
by finding a significant local angle. In addition to keeping its public
informed and providing a timely account of current affairs of the
neighbourhood, the publication also serves as a watchdog to hold public
officials accountable, highlighting what is being done or not done, or who is
responsible for those things.
The ideal candidate for the position is one who has the ability to seek out
new clients to advertise in the newspaper. Such a person will utilize his/her
experience in cold calling and prospecting to generate new business opportunities for our advertising department. Duties
include relationship-building within the Ikeja and Ilupeju communities; working
with businesses in those areas to develop their marketing strategies; helping
them increase their customers, sales, and market share; and assisting them to
perpetuate their brand.
Desired Skills &
Experience
Sales/Marketing experience is mandatory;
previous media sales experience a plus. The preferred candidate is one who will generate his/her own leads and is comfortable
with cold-calling or knocking on doors uninvited. A passing familiarity with
the neighbourhoods mentioned above would be a plus, especially if the candidate
has lived or worked in either of the places. The person we are looking for is
a problem-solver, is confident, at ease in front of others, outgoing,
competitive, persuasive, goal-driven, enjoys working with the public, and likes
getting recognition for a job well done.
Candidates must possess strong verbal,
written, and interpersonal skills; excellent organizational and presentation skills; as well as the ability to close
sales on a regular basis.
Familiarity with computers, including proficiency in Word and Excel is
preferred. Priority will be given to candidates who demonstrate excellent
time-management skills and ability to work in a fast-paced and
deadline-oriented environment.
