Jobs
This position is based in our head office in London (Zone 1)
Reporting to: Commercial Director
Ink connects companies with travellers. In doing so, we help our clients to achieve their commercial objectives. Our media gives our advertising customers the opportunity to reach a captive audience of affluent travellers at a time when they are uniquely receptive to marketing messages.
JOB TITLE: Sales Specialist – Media & Advertising
As market leader, we are constantly looking for extremely strong sales people to add to our international sales floor in London. Successful candidates must be determined to succeed, prepared to work as hard as it takes, and have a personal ambition to constantly maximise their potential.
We want people with a solid sales background and experience of the whole sales cycle including lead generation, cold-calling, presenting, negotiating and driving repeat business. Experience in media sales is desirable, but not essential – what is essential is a will-do attitude, the ability to motivate yourself and the focus to make the most of every opportunity.
We are currently growing a new international sales team to sell targeted advertising on boarding passes for the airlines that we currently produce high end inflight magazines for. This is a new product for Ink and exciting opportunity for sales people who want to expand their sales skills and have a new direction.
Responsibilities
A successful Ink sales specialist:
• Sells every day
• Constantly drives to exceed targets
• Actively and creatively sources potential opportunities
• Ensures a realistic pipeline is in place
• Builds and maintain strong, professional relationships with decision makers
• Manages their time effectively
• Juggles busy workloads with a sense of humour
• Demonstrates the value of advertising in our magazines
Requirements
We expect our sales team to exceed targets with on-going support from their managers, excellent continuous training, one-to-one coaching and the opportunity to attend sessions from sports psychologists and some of the world’s leading sales gurus. We believe in helping people fulfil their potential, and rewarding those who do.
