Part of a global media group, this is a 'price reporting agency' for the global metals industry.

No other company has the depth of information - they report on 2000 metals prices globally and their figures are used in London, Chicago and Shanghai metals exchanges.
Start date - ASAP
Your overall goal is to sell advertising campaigns to companies across UK, Middle East, Asia and Africa. You will get to work on a range of products including monthly printed magazines, all brand websites, e-newsletters, news alerts, webinars and events sponsoring. You will get to learn about different sales solutions strategies.
This is largely an office-based sales role and therefore phone-based. Around 25% of your sales will come from new business selling and the rest from existing or lapsed clients. So whilst there is some cold-calling it is only a fraction of the workload. You will be targeting, selling to and consulting with Senior Executives from marketing managers through to CEOs.
Where warranted, you will get the chance to attend conferences internationally. Last year the advertising sales executive went to China (twice), Dubai and Bahrain. For clients in the UK it is encouraged to go and meet them.
You will be reporting to the Head of Advertising who will offer you ongoing training and mentoring.
The salary is £23K plus commission. Upon passing a three month probation this increases to £25K and includes company healthcare and pension.
