B2B Outside Sales | Digital & Print Media | Bilingual Preferred

At LPi we are dedicated to elevating organizations, such as churches and community centers, with innovative digital and print products. Our solutions, such as print publications and websites, allow our customers more time to engage and promote their community.

About This Role

This is a B2B outside sales role focused on selling digital and print advertising solutions to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) within an assigned territory in Chicago and surrounding communities. You will manage a high-volume outbound pipeline, build lasting client relationships, and grow your book of business with the backing of a mission-driven, 50-year-old organization.

If you are coming from digital advertising sales, media sales, SaaS sales, or B2B territory sales, this role will feel like a natural next step with uncapped earning potential and a purpose-driven mission behind every sale.
