Anyone work in advertising?

Question

I just accepted a job in newspaper advertising/classifieds. I never did sales or advertising before. Has anyone done this or similar please tell me what days are like!

Answer 1

There's a lot of driving. You need to cultivate your clients to keep them buying. Try to stay on top of everyone's business so you can find a reason why they need to always have an ad going.

I am surprised nobody is training you. Usually the sales manager will want you to go by a certain system that is tried and true.

There will probably be a meeting every week to go over your progress and keep your enthusiasm up.
