How do I write a job proposal for a commission print advertising sales rep?

Question

I was approached by a local magazine, to have a job proposal for for a commissioned, print advertising sales rep. What type of format, template or spreadsheet should I use and what needs to be included?

Answer 1

If you're writing a proposal to be a commissioned sales rep for a magazine or newspaper then it doesn't matter what program you use - Word would be fine I guess. Think of it like writing a resume.

You should prove you have previous sales experience and understand the processes involved in selling print advertising to direct and agency customers.

Look at the target market for the publications and discover as much as you can about who you are going to be selling to.

Good luck.
