Description
Turn your love of community into a career.
Best Version Media is looking for a driven, community-minded sales professional to join us as a Media Sales Representative.
About Best Version Media
Founded in 2007, Best Version Media (BVM) has spent nearly two decades bringing North American communities together one person, one home, one business at a time. Today, BVM publishes over 1,300 local magazines and reaches billions of digital impressions across North America, helping thousands of local business owners grow.
What You’ll Do
This is a field-based, in-person sales role. You’ll build your own book of business in your local territory, on a schedule you control, selling advertising placements across BVM’s local print magazine and companion digital, social, and website products.
- Consult: Meet face-to-face with standout local business owners to showcase what makes their community great.
- Strategize: Build powerful, multi-channel branding programs using our media suite, print, digital, social, websites, and reputation management.
- Scale: Leverage our proven training and time-tested sales system to grow your own book of business, building community engagement that pays you and your community for years to come.
What You’ll Earn
This is an independent contractor role with no base salary or draw. Representatives earn a recurring commission on sales, with commission rates generally ranging from 70-80% based on monthly sales volume and performance relative to the baseline* cost structure. Bonuses are available during start-up and on an ongoing basis. Note: This role does not earn points toward Permanent Residency.
*Baseline is the back-end cost associated with the magazine & digital product’s cost to produce, distribute, bill clients, etc, and does not come out of the representative’s pocket.
What You Bring
- Sales Acumen: A drive to help local businesses grow through the art of advertising sales, strong communication, negotiation, and closing skills. Experience with digital or print advertising is a plus, but the right attitude matters most; we provide the training.
- Growth Mindset: A resilient, never-give-up attitude paired with a proactive approach to learning and continuous self-improvement.
- Community Focus: A genuine interest in building and nurturing relationships with local business owners, putting their success first.
Why Best Version Media?
- Support: Comprehensive training and ongoing professional support, we’re a community in ourselves.

- Culture & Rewards: Our why is simple: bring communities closer, one relationship at a time, and we celebrate the people who make that happen.
- Earn incentive trips, awards, and friendly contests along the way, all within a flexible schedule built to keep you present for what matters most: friends and family.

About this role
Best Version Media is seeking a self-driven sales professional to build and manage their own advertising business in the Guelph area. You'll work independently in the field, meeting face-to-face with local business owners to sell advertising across their print magazine and digital ecosystem—including social media, websites, and reputation management tools. The role offers flexibility in scheduling and the opportunity to develop a recurring revenue stream as you grow your client base.
This is a contract position with no base salary; you'll earn 70-80% commission on sales depending on your monthly performance, plus bonuses during ramp-up periods. Success here requires strong sales fundamentals, negotiation skills, and genuine relationship-building ability. While prior advertising experience is valued, the company emphasizes that the right mindset—resilience, coachability, and a community-first approach—matters most. Best Version Media provides comprehensive training and ongoing support to help you succeed.
The role suits someone who thrives with autonomy, wants to control their own schedule, and is genuinely invested in helping local businesses grow. You'll be part of a 20-year-old organization with deep roots across North America, working within a culture that prioritizes community connection and celebrates its top performers through incentives and recognition.
