Job Posting for Publishing Sales Representative, Boston (North) at W.W. Norton & Company, Inc.

Job Description:
W.W. Norton, headquartered in New York City, is seeking a Publishing Sales Representative to meet with professors and instructors to promote our textbooks, media, and other course materials in its North Boston territory. Location is flexible throughout the region.
The Perks

  • Unique company culture. We’re the kind of place where book nerds thrive. We value our independence and are dedicated to doing things differently than our competitors. We collaborate, innovate, and celebrate with our colleagues, and many of us have called Norton home for our entire career.
  • Variety. Because you’re responsible for maintaining relationships and winning textbook and media adoptions at campuses across a large territory, you’ll travel to different campuses every day talking with professors and instructors in a variety of disciplines.
  • Intellectual engagement. Finding out about instructors’ course challenges, innovative teaching strategies, and learning objectives means you’re continually discovering new disciplines and reading into textbooks from multiple fields. Norton representatives know what’s great about our books and media because we read and study them in preparation for our campus visits.
  • Creativity and strategic thinking. As you work with professors to find the best Norton course materials for their classes, you will think creatively and strategically to find solutions that address the needs of students and instructors and grow your territory’s revenue.
  • Career development. Norton values promoting from within, so career development is a company priority. As a Sales Representative, you sharpen your analytical and strategic skills on a daily basis. Managers are dedicated to developing representatives’ strengths, ability to prioritize, and professional goals.
  • Mentorship. Besides working closely with a manager who will train, support, and help you develop in this role, Norton offers a mentorship program that pairs you with a more seasoned Norton representative to provide additional support and camaraderie.
  • Profit sharing
  • 401K matching
  • Bonus potential, competitive salary, and healthcare coverage
  • Company car, laptop, iPad, and phone

The Day-To-Day

  • Develop and maintain relationships with academic faculty to assess individual and departmental needs and promote Norton’s books and technology to current and prospective adopters.
  • Meet with professors daily through a mix of on-campus and virtual calls during the academic year. When on campus, you’ll aim to meet with between 6-10 professors every day.
  • Track territory sales opportunities in Salesforce, collaborating with your regional manager, specialists, editors, and marketing managers to provide solutions for faculty and think creatively about how to win business.
  • Grow revenue and increase adoption rates across your territory.
  • Teach faculty about Norton technology solutions that enhance classrooms (in-person, hybrid, and online) and support student learning and success. You will coordinate helping instructors set up and implement educational technology with our customer success team and facilitate student registration when needed.
  • Provide exceptional customer service to current and potential adopters.
  • From time to time you will host presentations and media and teaching workshops.
  • Work with college bookstores to ensure orders are properly placed and fulfilled.
