Junior Library Guild (JLG) is expanding its new-business sales team in Dublin, Ohio.\nYou’ll connect with school and public librarians across the country, understand their collection needs, and sell subscriptions that help them bring outstanding books to their readers. You’ll own a defined territory and manage the sales process from initial outreach through closing-with training, ongoing coaching, and a renewal-rep partner who can share market insights and new-business referrals.\nThis is an outbound sales role focused on winning new customers. Cold calling, email outreach, consistent follow-up, and asking for the sale are central to the position. If you enjoy creating opportunities and working toward a measurable sales goal, we’d like to meet you.\nWhy Join JLG?\nMeaningful work with an established brand. Help schools and libraries build engaging book collections that inspire lifelong reading.\n Uncapped earning potential. Earn a $48,000 base salary plus commissions and bonus opportunities, with approximately $100,000 in annual total earnings at goal (with many reps earning far more).\nA defined territory and a collaborative partner. Develop new business in your assigned territory, supported by a renewal representative who shares market intelligence, referrals, and potential leads.\nA gradual ramp to full sales goals. Build your skills and pipeline with progressively increasing goals during your first 90 days.\nPractical coaching and development. Receive sales training, call feedback, and ongoing guidance to help you strengthen your approach and close more business.\nOpportunity to advance. The majority of our current sales leadership team began in frontline sales roles at JLG.\nA team that celebrates results. Work alongside other sales professionals in a collaborative office with contests, incentives, and recognition programs.\nWhat You’ll Do\nWin new school and public library customers within your assigned territory.\nGenerate opportunities through outbound calls, email outreach, referrals, and consistent prospecting.\nAsk thoughtful questions to understand librarians’ collection priorities, budgets, and purchasing timelines.\nRecommend JLG subscription categories that meet each customer’s needs.\nPrepare quotes, address objections, and follow opportunities through to a buying decision.\nBuild and manage a pipeline that supports your monthly new-business revenue goal.\nCollaborate with your renewal-rep partner to identify opportunities and share territory insights.\nMaintain accurate CRM records, follow-up plans, and next steps.\nParticipate in coaching, call reviews, and team training.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nAt least one year of sales experience, preferably involving outbound prospecting, new-customer acquisition, or individual sales goals.\nConfidence initiating conversations with people who are not expecting your call.\nExamples of achieving goals, winning business, or improving sales results through consistent effort.\nStrong listening and communication skills, including the ability to handle objections and ask for the sale.\nOrganization and persistence-you keep track of opportunities and follow through.\nA competitive, coachable mindset and the resilience to keep moving after hearing “no.”\nExperience with Dynamics, Salesforce, or a similar CRM is a plus.\nExperience selling to schools or libraries is welcome, but not required. We welcome candidates from other sales environments who can demonstrate results and are ready to apply their skills to outbound sales.\nTraining, Ramp-Up & Compensation\nYou’ll begin with approximately one and a half weeks of new-hire training before sales goals start. Goals increase progressively over a 90-day ramp-up, with the full goal-the same goal carried by tenured representatives-beginning in month four.\nBecause commission and bonus rates are tied to goal attainment, your ramp-up goals are designed to give you an opportunity to earn performance-based rates while you develop your skills and build your pipeline. Your attainment during ramp-up is measured against your reduced goal.\nCompensation includes:\n$48,000 annual base salary\nUncapped commissions and bonus opportunities\nApproximately $100,000 in annual total earnings at goal\nLocation & Schedule\nThis is an in-office position in Dublin, Ohio, serving customers across multiple U.S. time zones.\nSchedule options include:\nMonday-Friday: 8 a.m.-5 p.m.\nMonday-Thursday: two days 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and two days 10 a.m.-7 p.m.; Friday: 8 a.m.-5 p.m.\nMonday-Thursday: 10 a.m.-7 p.m.; Friday: 8 a.m.-5 p.m.\nSchedule availability and expectations will be discussed during the interview process.\nTravel: Up to 10% for conferences and events.\nBenefits & Perks\nMedical, dental, and vision insurance\nGenerous PTO and paid holidays\n401(k) with company match, vesting after three months\nEmployee discounts\nTeam contests, incentives, lunches, and recognition programs\nOngoing professional development and opportunities for advancement\nAbout Junior Library Guild\nJunior Library Guild helps schools and libraries across the country connect young readers with high-quality books.
