Business Development Representative (Media)

FIRST MEDIA SOUTH

Business Development Rep (Media) — Albany / Tifton, GA

Full-Time | Base Commission | Full Benefits

Do you love helping local businesses grow? Are you a natural connector with roots in the

Albany-Tifton area — someone who knows the community and can open doors? If you can spot

a business problem, build a strategy around it, and confidently sell that strategy to a skeptical

owner, we want to meet you.

We’re First Media South, and we’re growing. We’re hiring an Account Executive to bring on new

clients and manage existing relationships across our broadcast, digital, and print platforms.

What’s In It for You

We know you have options. Here’s why our team members stay:

• Base salary commensurate with experience uncapped commission — top performers

earn $65,000–$80,000

• Health, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) with company matching

• Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

• Paid time off paid training

• Monday–Friday schedule — occasional events on evenings and weekends

• A full suite of broadcast, digital, and print products to sell — giving you more ways to win

for clients

• Ongoing professional development and sales training

The Role

This is a consultative sales role. You won’t be pushing a single product — you’ll be building

customized advertising strategies for local businesses and then selling them on the investment.

Day-to-day you’ll:

• Prospect for new clients through face-to-face outreach and community networking

• Conduct Customer Needs Analyses to understand each client’s goals and challenges

• Develop tailored multi-platform advertising solutions (TV/radio, digital, print)

• Present proposals to business owners and decision-makers, often in group settings

• Manage and grow an existing book of accounts

• Hit monthly and quarterly revenue goals

What We’re Looking For

• Proven ability to find decision-makers, build trust, and close business

• Strong local network or connections in the Albany-Tifton market (a big plus)

• Experience in negotiation and new business development

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

• Comfortable managing multiple accounts and deadlines in a fast-paced environment

• Self-starter who can work independently and as part of a team

• Proficient in PowerPoint, Excel, and Microsoft Word

• Media sales experience helpful but not required — we will train the right person

Requirements

• Associate’s degree or higher preferred

• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation (client visits required)

First Media South is an equal opportunity employer.
