Description
Are you in search of a workplace that thrives on community connections through advertising? If so, we'd love to have you join our sales team! We need someone who understands the connection between marketing and sales and genuinely gets excited with each and every sale - big or small. Our Lamar office in Bridgeport, West Virginia, is now hiring a new Account Executive (salary + commission) to help us bring innovative outdoor advertising campaigns to life for brands in Bridgeport, WV, and the surrounding areas. The purpose of the Sales Account Executive is to meet and exceed sales objectives in their assigned territory by promoting and selling outdoor advertising to qualified advertisers. An Account Executive (AE) is expected to use professional sales techniques and develop long-term advertising relationships that grow Lamar advertising sales. Join our team to be a part of a company culture that not only prioritizes work-life balance but also recognizes and celebrates hard work, success, and high performers. With a strong community involvement, we are a well-known household name and have a reputation for making a positive impact in people's lives. The selected candidate should expect to spend 75-80% of their time working directly with clients and prospects in their assigned territory (Randolph, Upshur, Barbour, and Lewis Counties). This is an outside sales position, not a remote desk position. While the 20-25% of time spent on office work may be done remotely, this is not a fully work from home position.
