“I built Faces to spotlight the best businesses in each city and give sales pros a product that’s genuinely fun to sell. You’re not begging for budget—you’re offering something prestigious, limited, and incredibly valuable for local businesses. If you love the chase, love the close, and want to be part of something that’s expanding into multiple markets, this is the place. You won’t be stuck maintaining accounts—you’ll be building something new and exciting with us. If this sounds like a fit, I want to talk to you.”

We launched Faces of Scottsdale AZ

scottsdalefaceskit.com

Faces is our premier annual “Faces Of” program—an exclusive, category-driven magazine + digital spotlight where one business per category earns the title of “The Face of ___” in their market.

Every Faces feature includes:

• A premium editorial spread
• Expert photography + custom design
• Print placement across the local market
• Digital visibility across websites and social
• A year-round brand asset they can proudly use
  We currently operate in:
  Fargo, Sioux Falls, Grand Forks, Bismarck
  …and now we’re launching Faces of Scottsdale, Arizona with more cities coming fast.

Spotlight Media plans to expand the Faces Program into multiple new markets over the next 5 years. If you join now, you’re stepping in at the ground-floor level of a national expansion.

Spotlight Media is a Fargo-based media + marketing company that produces magazines, builds websites, manages digital advertising campaigns, and helps businesses scale through creative marketing solutions.

Our ecosystem includes:

• Local & regional magazines (Fargo INC!, Bison Illustrated, and more)
• The multi-market Faces program
• Website design & development services
• Digital advertising + marketing services
  Faces is one of our fastest-growing divisions—and a major feeder of leads into our broader services.

This division exists solely to run and grow the Faces program. Your world revolves around:

• Selling category-specific Faces features
• Managing category inventory across cities
• Prospecting and calling business owners directly
• One-call-close opportunities
• Using Faces to introduce clients to Spotlight Web Design, Digital Advertising, and Marketing Services
  When categories open, they sell fast. Scarcity is on your side.

If you’re an outgoing, phone-confident, negotiation-loving closer , this role fits like a glove.

Highlights:

• Short sales cycle – Many deals close in a single call.
• High demand product – Prestige & exclusivity are built in.
• Category scarcity – Only ONE business per industry.
• No heavy technical ramp-up – The pitch is simple and fun.
• Immediate earning potential – Close a deal on Day 1.
• Huge long-term upside – Every Faces client becomes a warm lead for additional Spotlight services.
• Massive growth runway – As we launch new markets, your opportunity stack gets bigger and bigger.
  This role is NOT for someone who wants to sit quietly behind email. You need to love conversation, persuasion, and momentum.

Daily activities include:

• Calling business owners by category to invite them to claim a Faces spot
• Running persuasive phone or Zoom presentations using our proven process
• Managing category inventory for multiple markets (sold/open/held leads)
• Updating CRM and inventory systems accurately and quickly
• Following a structured yet flexible sales script and negotiation framework
• Closing new business efficiently and confidently
• Handing off new clients to editorial + production teams
• Identifying opportunities to upsell clients into:
  • Custom web design projects
  • Digital ad management
  • Print + digital media services
• Supporting the launch and growth of future Faces markets
  Your day will be a mix of calls, follow-ups, deal-closing, and building relationships with owners.

• Consistent daily outreach (20–50+ calls depending on market)
• Strong closing ratios once prospects are engaged
• Clean CRM notes and accurate category inventory updates
• Hitting or exceeding monthly Faces sales goals
