Advertising Representative at YellowBook
in Ann Arbor, MI

What do you like about working at YellowBook?

"I liked consulting businesses and helping them with all of their Advertising Needs as well as looking at their business as a whole and making the appropriate recommendations. I loved the experience & training I received in SEO, SEM, Websites as well as Ad Creation and all of the different channels (Creative & Directional) and the methodologies & best practices that a business could effectively implement to be successful."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"I would recommend that they try to focus on the digital marketing and although print is still a large revenue source, digital is where they are going to have the highest ROI and make the largest commissions and see the most rewards from a personal level when they can watch their customers achieve (and surpass) their objectives with effective campaigns."

What don't you like about working at YellowBook?

"Compensation Plan. I was told that if a Representative obtained their quota that a certain income was achievable. I surpassed quotas and that income level was not even close."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"To have a more favorable compensation plan in place for their Representatives and that would reduce the high turn-over rate in their organization. They spend a lot of time with training and employee retention should be valued with an utmost importance as well as placing a larger emphasis on customer satisfaction vs. end user satisfaction primarily."
