Remote B2B Advertising Sales Executive

Magazine & Online Directory Sales | South Africa-Based | Part-Time | Approx. 20 Hours Per Week

We are looking for an experienced, professional B2B advertising sales executive based in South Africa to help with the launch of a new UK home, interiors and property magazine.

This is a self-employed contractor role, initially for approx. 20 hours per week, Monday to Friday, working during UK business hours.

The role has strong long-term potential. As the magazine grows and expands into other areas, there may be an opportunity to increase hours and earnings.

About The Role

We are launching Local Homes Magazine, a premium home, interiors and property publication aimed at homeowners and local businesses in the Bolton area of the UK.

Alongside the printed magazine, we are also building an online business directory. Many businesses will already have a listing created for them, and your first call will often be to check their details are correct.

This is a sales role, not just appointment setting.

You will be expected to speak with UK business owners, introduce the magazine and directory offer, send media packs where appropriate, follow up professionally, close smaller advertising bookings over the phone, and book appointments only for larger premium opportunities.

Key Responsibilities

• Make outbound calls to UK local businesses
• Check and update business directory listing details
• Confirm contact names, emails and mobile numbers
• Identify the correct decision-maker
• Explain magazine and directory advertising options
• Send media packs and follow-up emails
• Follow up leads consistently
• Close smaller advertising bookings over the phone
• Book qualified appointments for larger-value prospects
• Keep accurate notes in the CRM/sales system
• Report daily activity, outcomes and opportunities

What We Are Looking For

You must have experience in:

• UK B2B outbound telesales
• Selling over the phone
• Speaking with small business owners
• Handling objections
• Following up prospects
• Working to sales targets

Experience in any of the following would be a strong advantage:

• Magazine advertising sales
• Media sales
• Online directory sales
• Local business marketing
• Print or digital advertising
• Selling to trades, home improvement, property or service-based businesses

The Right Person Will Be

• Confident and natural on the phone
• Fluent in spoken and written English
• Comfortable speaking to UK business owners
• Good at building rapport
• Able to ask good questions
• Able to close sales without being pushy
• Organised with follow-ups
• Reliable and self-motivated

We are not looking for someone who simply reads a script. We need someone who can have proper business conversations and represent the magazine professionally.

• Your own laptop or desktop computer
• A smartphone
• A stable, reliable internet connection
• A quiet working space
• Availability during UK business hours
• Previous UK B2B outbound sales experience
• Clear, fluent spoken English

We will provide access to the VoIP/calling system, sales information, media pack, CRM/sales system, call scripts and follow-up templates.

You will work remotely from South Africa and be responsible for your own tax, equipment, internet connection and working setup.

Work will be carried out to an agreed weekly schedule during UK business hours.

Hours

• Approx. 20 hours per week
• Monday to Friday
