About - Team - Press - Careers - FAQ
readMedia is looking for a motivated, ambitious account rep who wants to sell a great product, help to grow a successful, early-stage business, and have the opportunity for lots of personal and professional growth—all at a company that hates face time, takes care of co-workers, and loves customers. You’ll be selling readMedia’s web-based application for press release distribution, which has been designed to be simple, usable, and rewarding. Most of your selling will be over the phone to non-specialist users, so you must be comfortable engaging people in a solution-based sale.
We are not looking for “killers”: readMedia’s strength is solving problems for clients and taking good care of them. Every sale is the beginning of a long-term relationship. That said, you must be able to close business and consistently grow revenue, prospect for new business, and develop effective ways to scale your activities.
readMedia likes to hire people that fit a certain profile:
- You are self motivated: there is not a lot of structure or micro-management here. You’ll have all the rope you need to lasso the moon, or hang yourself.
- You get things done: we care about results, not the appearance of results.
- You are smart: You must be able to learn new things quickly and comprehensively, adjust to new ideas, and be very comfortable with technology.
- You like to succeed: You should like the feeling of being on a winning team, and want to be a key player.
In general, these qualities are more important that a specific resume, but we would like to see people who have:
- A demonstrable history of meeting or exceeding sales targets, managing a pipeline, and prospecting for new business;
- Experience selling technical solutions to nontechnical users, or who have a background in public relations;
- Excellent writing and speaking skills (this is a must for the position).
You will love being a part of readMedia’s team. There is a lot of opportunity, a really sane work environment, and the prospect of doing very well in a high-growth company. We offer health and dental, a 401(k) with matching, and equity and bonus plans.
Be sure to send us a cover letter with your resume: it’s required! Tell us a bit about yourself and what you believe you can bring to readMedia and send it to jobs@readmedia.com.
