Gray Media•Duluth, MN

5d•$18 - $22

About The Position

Ever wondered how a massive media campaign actually comes to life? You’ve always been curious about the world of sales, but maybe you’re more of a "master of the details" than a "cold-caller." If you’re someone who genuinely loves diving into data, perfecting a process, and seeing the gears turn behind the scenes, this is the role you’ve been looking for. We’re looking for a Sales Assistant who wants to be part of the revenue engine at our station—someone who understands that a great deal isn't just about the pitch, but about the precision, organization, and multi-platform strategy that makes it stick. KBJR is an innovative leader in the Duluth market. With a proud legacy of leading the market in news and community initiatives, we are constantly evolving and pushing to meet people where they consume news and deliver compelling content across all platforms.

Requirements

A love for the "how": You’re fascinated by processes and data, and you take pride in making sure everything is organized and accurate.
A customer-focused mindset: You genuinely enjoy helping people and have a positive attitude that rubs off on everyone around you.
Digital-first curiosity: You’re comfortable navigating the world of digital media and are eager to learn how our multi-platform solutions drive ROI for clients.
Killer organizational skills: You can multitask like a pro and stay calm under the pressure of a fast-paced deadline environment.
Tech-savviness: You’re proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and can whip up a professional presentation or a complex spreadsheet with ease.
Communication excellence: Your verbal and written skills are top-notch, and you know how to craft an email that gets a response.
Attention to detail: You have a sharp eye for the little things (and the basic math skills to back it up) to ensure every order and report is 100% accurate.
A "partner" mentality: You have 1-2 years of administrative or customer service experience and are looking to launch or advance your career in the exciting world of media sales.

Responsibilities

Empower our sales leaders: Manage schedules, prepare high-impact sales presentations, and organize materials so our team can focus on what they do best—closing deals.
Be the voice of the station: Respond to customer inquiries with urgency and empathy, providing product info and following up on leads to keep the momentum going.
Master the workflow: Process orders for both linear (TV) and digital platforms with precision, ensuring every campaign launches without a hitch.
Collaborate for growth: Work closely with advertising agencies and external partners to maximize revenue opportunities—ensuring every campaign is optimized for success.
Own the data: Update and maintain our CRM systems and customer databases, keeping our "source of truth" clean and actionable.
Track the wins: Compile sales data and create reports that track key performance metrics, helping us see exactly where we’re winning and where we can grow.
Deliver "Wow" service: Address customer concerns head-on and ensure every client has a positive, seamless experience with our brand.
Stay agile: Tackle "any other duties as assigned" with a smile—because in a modern media house, no two days are ever the same!
