Franklinis.com

Franklinis.com isn’t just an online magazine — it’s a Williamson County institution. The Voice of the County.

• 75,000+ users across our platform

• 45,000+ local visitors every month

• 50,000-recipient newsletter with strong open rates and engaged readers

• Home of the Williamson County Sizzle Awards — entering our 20th year as the most celebrated local business awards in the area

• 660,000+ votes cast in last year’s Sizzle Awards alone with over 350 businesses attending the annual winners Gala

• Proud sponsor of many of the most popular events and organizations across Williamson County

Our audience is exactly who local businesses want to reach: educated, engaged, affluent, and deeply connected to one of the fastest-growing, most desirable communities in the country. We’ve built a brand that readers love, advertisers trust, and the community celebrates — and we’re growing.

If you’ve ever wanted to sell a product you believe in, for a brand people genuinely care about, this is it.

 

The Opportunity

We are imminently about to launch our newly designed platform to take us to a new level. We’re looking for a hungry, polished MEDIA SALES EXECUTIVE to bring local and regional businesses into the Franklinis.com community. You’ll be selling a powerful suite of digital advertising products that deliver real results:

• Display advertising on Franklinis.com — premium placements on a high-traffic, trusted local site

• Sponsored stories — branded content woven into the editorial experience our readers love

• Newsletter advertising — direct access to 50,000 engaged subscribers who open our emails because they want what’s inside

• Sizzle Awards sponsorships and advertising — align your clients with the biggest local awards program in Williamson County

• Event sponsorships — connect advertisers to the community moments that matter

This is a true sales role — outbound, consultative, and relationship-driven. You’ll prospect new business, grow existing accounts, and craft custom advertising packages that help local businesses thrive. The opportunity to succeed here is vast.

 

Compensation

This position has an aggressive, uncapped compensation plan built for closers. Top performers can earn well into six figures.

• Competitive base salary

• Uncapped commission — the more you sell, the more you make

• Performance bonuses and incentives

• Paid vacation and holidays

We don’t put a ceiling on success. If you can sell, we’ll make sure you’re rewarded for it.

 

What You’ll Do

• Prospect and develop new business through outbound calls, in-person meetings, and networking across Williamson County and surrounding areas

• Manage and grow a portfolio of existing accounts

• Build customized advertising packages — display, sponsored content, newsletter, Sizzle Awards, event sponsorships — that solve real marketing problems for local businesses

• Deliver compelling sales presentations using our media kit, audience data, and case studies

• Hit and exceed monthly and quarterly revenue goals

• Stay sharp on digital advertising trends and Franklinis.com’s evolving offerings

• Represent the Franklinis.com brand at community events and within the local business community

 

What We’re Looking For

• 1–2 years of successful sales experience (media, advertising, or B2B preferred — the right hunter)

• A self-starter mindset — you don’t wait for leads, you create them

• Comfort and confidence with cold outreach

• Strong communication and presentation skills

• A consultative approach — you listen, diagnose, and solve

• A closer’s instinct — you know how to ask for the business

• Working knowledge of digital advertising and how it drives ROI for local businesses

• Solid understanding of retail and small business operations

• Valid driver’s license, proof of insurance, and reliable transportation

• A genuine love for our community is a huge plus

 

What’s In It For You

• Aggressive, uncapped compensation — your earnings reflect your effort

• A respected, growing local brand with massive audience reach and built-in credibility

• The Sizzle Awards — a 20-year-old asset that opens doors no cold call ever will

• A polished media kit and sales tools that make your job easier

• Paid vacation and holidays

• A collaborative, supportive team that wants to win together

• Real career growth opportunity as Franklinis.com expands

 

Ready to Make Your Move?

If you’re a driven sales professional who wants uncapped earning potential, a brand worth talking about, and a community worth representing — we want to meet you.
