If you love your community and want to get paid for building real relationships in it, this is the outside sales opportunity built for that - not a desk job, not a call centre.
🍁 Proudly designed, printed, and distributed by Canadians, for Canadian neighbourhoods.
Best Version Media has spent nearly 20 years bringing communities together across Canada and the USA - one person, one home, one business at a time. Today, more than 1,300 local magazines and a full suite of digital marketing solutions help tens of thousands of local businesses grow. We’re looking for the next person to build one in the area.
What You’ll Earn
- Year 1 earning potential: $85,000+ (CAD)
- Year 2 earning potential: $215,,000+ (CAD)
- Top performers: exceed $1,000,000 in annual sales volume - and earn accordingly. Plus incentives: trips, recognition, and a community of peers who want you to win.
- Model: 100% commission, independent-contractor business - uncapped, cumulative income for you and your family, with zero start-up costs, on a schedule you control. You launch as an Associate Publisher - BVM’s name for the people who sell for, and run, a community magazine - with bonus earnings while you build, and graduate to Publisher, earning 70% commission on collected sales above baseline (up to 80% with performance incentives) once your magazine reaches its revenue baseline.
Your Role
- Consult: Sit across the table from local business owners and help them solve the problem every one of them shares - being known by the households closest to them.
- Strategize: Design each client’s full answer - their place in the neighbourhood’s magazine, plus digital ads and their online presence - one program that works together, not one ad at a time.
- Scale: Use our training and proven system to build a book of business that pays you for years, not just once.
And you won’t do any of it alone: structured training, daily live coaching, and a local leader in your corner from day one.
What You’ll Sell
Guaranteed access to the neighbourhood: a magazine about
their own community, mailed into the exact homes around a business - kept on coffee tables for a month, not scrolled past in seconds - with premium placements beside the content people actually read, plus digital ads and an online presence already working when readers look the business up. Local owners don’t need another ad; they need their neighbours’ attention. That’s what you’ll sell.
What You Bring
- Sales ability - or the drive to build it: a track record of prospecting, negotiating, and closing helps - outside sales, D2D, real estate, and insurance backgrounds all do well here. No sales background required, though: if you’ve spent your career serving the public - retail, hospitality, education, healthcare - you already have the core skill: taking care of people. What our top Publishers share is motivation and consistency. You bring the drive; our training builds the rest.
- Your own transportation, phone, laptop, and reliable internet: you’ll be meeting business owners in person, in your territory - our most successful Publishers make it a daily rhythm. To succeed in this role, a reliable vehicle, laptop, phone, and internet connectivity are recommended. This role is an independent contractor (self-employed) position and does not earn points toward Permanent Residency.
- Community focus: a genuine interest in building and nurturing local business relationships.
- Room to build: our most successful Publishers made this their primary professional focus during the build - the model rewards the ones who go all-in.
Why Best Version Media
- Proven model: 1,300+ magazines across North America, reaching millions of homes, and proudly serving 123,000+ local businesses over the last 20 years.
- Real support: structured training, daily live coaching, and a local leadership team from day one - you’re in business for yourself, never by yourself.
- Standing: ask our long-tenured Publishers what surprised them most - they’ve become some of the best-known people in their towns, the connector local businesses call first.
