Job Description:
The Sales and Production Coordinator is the backbone of our production pipeline. This person is the primary contact for existing clients and handles the sales relationship. The Production Coordinator is the link between the customer and the supplier. Communication, customer service, and technical knowledge are important skills for this position.
We work on a monthly sales cycle, so the job responsibilities vary. Two weeks of the month are primarily sales responsibilities, and the other two weeks are primarily production responsibilities.
Products we sell/produce include:
•Direct-mail advertising in Moneysaver Marketplace, a monthly magazine
•Printed products such as postcards, menus, inserts, flyers
•Mail-fulfillment services. If our client has a database or list of customers, and wants to mail them a postcard or flyer.
•Mail list services. If our client needs to reach a targeted group of people, we can sell them a mail list of people who meet the demographic they are looking to reach. This can be based on income ranges, age, interests, etc.
SALES COORDINATION
When the publisher makes a sale, the Sales Coordinator may be called upon to handle the paperwork, including:
•Write proposals using established templates
•Prepare ad agreements and estimates for clients to sign using templates
•Deliver ad agreements in person, via fax or email
•Establish payment method when ad agreement is signed (prior to any ad production)
•Pick up payments as needed (this happens when a payment method is not established at time ad agreement is signed)
•Turn in completed paperwork to accounting
•Send thank you cards to new clients (using our online card ordering website)
PRODUCTION COORDINATION
After the sale is made and payment is received, we produce the artwork that the client has ordered. Some clients produce their own art, and send it to us in a completed form. Other clients sketch out or communicate how they want their ad to look, and our artists create an ad for them.
If receiving prepared artwork, the Production Coordinator must be able to communicate with clients about art files we can work with (InDesign, Quark, etc), colors, fonts, and ad sizes (dimensions), so that artwork is received in an acceptable format. [The Production Coordinator does not have to work in any of these special graphics programs.]
If we are creating or editing an artwork for a client, the Production Coordinator will:
•Get artwork (or ad design instructions) from clients and check for typos. Verify that necessary elements are included and correct (logos, telephone number, address, website, expiration)
•Make sure that ad meets requirements to be successful. Does it have a headline? Does it have a compelling offer? Does it look attractive?
•Fill out insertion order and email to artist on pdf (Adobe Acrobat Pro)
•Upload any pictures, logos, or sample ads to artist on ftp site
•Download completed art proof from ftp site
•Verify that art instructions were completed
•Submit corrections to ad proofs to graphics team as needed
•Provide final ad proofs to clients, and get approvals by email, phone or fax by deadlines
•Review weekly sales and open invoice reports with Accounting to make any necessary corrections or changes
•Establish and maintain firm deadlines with clients and their ad agencies
•Deliver printed ad samples to clients
