• Provide service and support throughout the yearbook creation and delivery process.
• Navigate school purchasing cycles and ensure high-quality delivery.
• Collaborate with leadership on transition planning if you are bringing an existing
book of business.
Requirements
What We’re Looking For
• Proven yearbook or school sales experience — ideally with an existing book of
business.
• Strong, established relationships with K–12 schools and/or universities in your
territory.
• A valid, reviewable contract with your current provider (required before
discussions).
• Stable work history and consistent revenue performance.
• Entrepreneurial mindset and ability to manage your own business.
• Familiarity with state-specific non-compete laws (we will review and navigate as
needed).
Benefits

This is an opportunity to align with a company that has established credibility in the school
services space, with recent strong delivery seasons and a commitment to growth. Reps will be supported with resources, incentives, and a partnership approach that values long-term
success.
