Yearbook Sales Career

Salespeople, yearbook advisers, educators, and journalists: this is the career for you!

We are expanding our western North Carolina territory!  Join Herff Jones Yearbooks and help students make their school memories last a lifetime. Our Sales Professionals visit school principals, yearbook advisers and their staffs to assist in all aspects of yearbook production: desktop publishing, photography, writing, page layout, marketing and sales. As an independent contractor, you will manage your business from a home office and visit public, private and parochial schools in your assigned territory each day. Successful Sales Professionals will generate profitable sales growth by establishing relationships with prospective customers, understanding their needs and then winning their business by demonstrating Herff Jones’ superior quality, products, and services. Earning potential is unlimited and a draw account against commissions assures a consistent income throughout the year.

The candidate must have a four-year college degree, dependable transportation, good credit history, and provide suitable space for an office. Attendance at company-sponsored sales and training meetings is expected. While comprehensive training is provided for professional selling and presentation skills, desktop publishing, and small business management, successful candidates will have demonstrated strength in those skill sets. Salespeople, current and former educators, coaches and those with experience in journalism, printing, photography and/or graphic design are encouraged to apply.

Herff Jones is the largest 100% employee-owned and American-owned yearbook printer. Since 1920, we have supplied yearbooks, class rings, school pictures, caps and gowns, diplomas, maps and globes to schools across the United States and Canada. We have an exciting opportunity for a dynamic, highly motivated Yearbook Sales Professional to join our western North Carolina sales team.
