Our mission is to bring textbook prices back down to earth. College faculty and students are our customers. We make their lives easier by ensuring that students have access to our high-quality, digital-first textbooks, at prices they can afford.
Adoption of FlatWorld’s affordable, high-quality digital-first textbooks and the online Homework system has grown tremendously: we have been the fastest growing publisher in our market for the past five years.

About the job and team
As a Sales Representative, you are critical to persuading faculty in your territory to make the move to FlatWorld textbooks and the Homework system. Great relationships depend on great people and you are the face of FlatWorld.
Starting with a clear strategy and an effective plan for maximizing your time, energy, and resources, you will uncover opportunities and identify who’s making the textbook decision. You will use Salesforce to create and update account and contact information. You will search College and University websites to find teaching assignments for upcoming semesters , and faculty information. You will also search College and University bookstore websites to determine products currently in use for the courses you target as sales opportunities.
You will follow-up with Instructors teaching targeted courses using email, Zoom phone calls, and Google Meet or Zoom to close the sale. During the course of the sales process you will be demoing FlatWorld’s assessment platform using a consultative sales methodology. You will then work with Instructors who adopt FlatWorld products and our Customer Success team, to ensure that everything is in place for students to purchase our textbooks at the start of the semester.
We are committed to providing our customers with A+ service. Relationships with existing FlatWorld faculty in your territory are an important way to find new prospects and to generate referrals. Your highest priority, however, given our rapid growth, is driving new business: You will be compensated generously based on new revenue generated, with no cap on commissions earned.
You will have a base salary of $45-$55k based on experience. We anticipate that in addition to your base salary you will earn $25k+ in uncapped commission in your first year if you hit your revenue goals. Full benefits package.
