Description

Advertising Sales Associate
- Cox Media Inc

Some people don’t even need an energy drink to fuel their day. The passion and drive in their DNA gives them the jump start they need to tackle whatever comes their way. Now, while we’d never deprive you of your favorite caffeinated beverage, we are looking for someone who has that certain combo of ambition and curiosity. We’re looking for an Advertising Sales Associate.

If you’re a driven individual who values community, growth, learning, and work-life balance, then keep reading.

At Cox Media, we are really passionate about helping businesses of all sizes connect with their customers. We do it through dynamic ad platforms like Streaming TV (Roku, Sling, Amazon TV), You Tube, Google Ads, Digital Audio (Spotify) and future-facing technology. That’s where you come in. The Advertising Sales Associate program is designed so you will learn all about the exciting world of marketing, B2B ad sales, key functions in our various departments, and some really valuable skills from some of Cox’s strongest mentors.

Along the way, we’ll look to you to find new clients, take part in things like sales calls and the design of campaigns and presentations.

You’ll be guided by the best in the business, and everything you learn will prepare you to step up to the role of Advertising Account Executive, should that be where your passion lies.

Here’s what we’ll train you how to do…and then count on you to keep doing:

You’ll build/maintain great relationships with customers (both internal and external). These customers will help you rock your sales quota. We call that a win/win.

You’ll learn all about our products, and then help us develop the advertising campaigns that will help achieve our client’s marketing goals. You’ll also create customized presentations and proposals and participate in sales pitches. Oh yeah, and the part every sales associate loves: closing the deal. That’s all you…with a little help from your friends, of course.

You’ll find and pursue your own leads, as well as qualified prospects warmed up by our Business Development Team. You’ll also develop relationships by repping Cox at local business networking and charity events.

We’ll also count on you to complete our Sales Associate Program structured curriculum- which will help bring you up to speed on the latest industry tools, B2B sales approaches and account relationship management strategies.

Let’s talk about what you’ll gain for all that great work you’ll do:

We’ll set you up with a base salary and uncapped earning potential. You can expect a 401K with a generous company match, comprehensive healthcare, life and disability benefits, plus other perks, including adoption assistance, pet insurance, free internet and other discounted services from Cox (in certain markets).

We’re big on work-life balance, so expect some flexible vacation days, plus seven paid holidays.

Inclusion is one of our top priorities: we want you to bring your authentic self to your work. We believe in mutual respect and honoring who people are…if you feel the same way, you’ve found the right place. Know that we want you to feel at home…and to help make others feel at home as well.

We know you like to give back to the community, so we make it easy to do so, with a number of employee volunteer opportunities.

If the role of Account Executive feels like a great fit, we’re happy to help launch your career on that path. However, if you find you have different aspirations, well, we want you to grow with us…so if a different area of the Cox ecosystem inspires your ambition, let us help you map your way there. You may have guessed by now, but we don’t do corporate ladders here.

We do jungle gyms. So climb, swing, and explore. Earn an advanced degree, learn a new skill, join a mentoring program. It’s all there for you…so let us know how we can help you grow.

You’re a gifted communicator, whether you’re dealing with a client or colleague one on one, in a team environment, or on your feet leading a presentation. You’re curious, and get that listening is a big part of communicating. Even though you’re…
