College Sales Representative (Various Locations)
Intellectual engagement. Independence. Variety. All in a collegial community of lively, humane people who share a common goal of publishing and promoting distinctive educational materials. Join the W. W. Norton sales team and begin a rewarding career in college publishing.
The Job: Sales representatives at W. W. Norton meet with college and university professors to promote textbooks and electronic course materials. In this position, representatives are intellectually engaged in a wide range of disciplines—from anthropology and English to music and biology. Because representatives visit different campuses and departments almost every day, there’s a great deal of variety. While reps may meet one-on-one with faculty on some days, on other days they’re hosting presentations, lunches, workshops, or book fairs. Publishing reps at W. W. Norton are constantly learning something new and regularly challenged to put that knowledge to the test.
Mentoring: W. W. Norton provides a one-on-one mentorship program, pairing each new representative with a senior level sales representative. Mentors offer guidance, advice, and encouragement to help new reps master the job and develop their talents. Mentors work with new representatives to improve organization, communication, productivity, and self-confidence. Mentors support the transition into the Norton culture, share insights into other career opportunities within the company, and help new representatives build a more extensive professional network.
Development: Since an essential aspect of this position is devising distinctive strategies for securing business within a variety of disciplines and contexts, representatives become proficient problem solvers. Hosting presentations, book fairs, and lunches hones public speaking, communication, and event planning skills. Being a W. W. Norton representative will sharpen analytical skills and strengthen the ability to prioritize. Reps become increasingly outgoing and confident.
Candidates: Individuals wishing to apply for this position should be self-motivated, enthusiastic, adept at time management, independent, and persuasive. Successful representatives love discussing their favorite books and enjoy continually learning. Candidates should have a wide range of interests and be able to engage in thoughtful conversations about any number of topics in the liberal arts and sciences. The ability to travel overnight is essential for some territories.
Should you be interested in more than one territory, please apply to the regional manager in the region that interests you the most.
All candidates must be U.S. citizens or be in possession of a valid green card.
