Are you looking for a varied and interesting new sales role in academic publishing? Our client, a prestigious publisher with offices in the SE, is looking to take on an experienced sales person to promote their product list to academics; managing relationships to maximize adoption business and promote new digital and custom content delivery options. Key responsibilities include: * managing Salesforce data input, especially samples and feedback; campus calling (1 day a week during term-time); * outreach to academics through eMarketing; * researching course data in new fields, or where data may need updating; * managing the annual catalogue production process, including budgeting, schedules, relations with printers and editing as required; and * recording and reporting on sales leads and progress using internal systems. The ideal candidate will have academic sales experience, and those who have previously spent time campus-calling or managing a territory will have a distinct advantage. A publishing/academic background is preferred, however sales candidates from other backgrounds will also be considered. Knowledge and/or experience of Salesforce or a similar contact management system is desirable, as is competency with Microsoft Office, QuarkXpress and Dreamweaver. Strong communication and relationship building skills are essential. For more details contact Judy Irving on j.irving@inspiredselection.com, closing date: 15 June 2012
