Responsibilities included selling ad space on
an internet directory and seeking and recruiting sales persons. I also presented the option of
presenting the clients the with upgrades starting from a free listing to
ownership of
their own business website and/or a shared directory website.
The
inclusions that I performed were to present the four packages offered, there price points, the functions
they performed and to convey how this product could benefit their advertising campaign. Some of the
packages included numerous photos that I took with my digital camera and enough
printed ad copy about their business profile. The renewal or subscription rates that other medias were
costing couldn't compare to our offering.Being a former Yellow Page Rep I knew the value and cost
of what the media was charging the public and would advise businesses to entertain
this product and use it as a basic website in their avertising program. I also offered links to their
own website that would be linked from our directory.
I
canvassed the entire Hudson Valley for new and former Yellow Page clients and within one year the original
Putnam directory grew into the neighboring counties of Dutchess and Westchester with a coming soon
Hudson Valley Business Directory. I was responsible for most of the collections,contract agreements, sales and marketing.
