Job Overview

Kendall Hunt Publishing is seeking a driven, relationship-focused Publishing Solutions Representative to join our Higher Education sales team. Based in our home office in Dubuque, Iowa, this role is focused on connecting college professors with course materials that meet their needs and turning qualified opportunities into textbook adoptions.

As a Publishing Solutions Representative, you'll manage your own pipeline of sales opportunities across disciplines such as First-Year Experience, Science, Hospitality, Sport Management, and more. Each week, you'll receive a steady stream of qualified leads from professors who have already expressed interest in learning more about our products, allowing you to focus your time on building relationships, understanding faculty needs, and closing sales.

From the first conversation through adoption, you'll own the sales process. You'll connect with professors by phone, Zoom, and email, provide review copies, learn about their courses and challenges, recommend the right solutions, answer questions, and consistently follow up to move opportunities forward.

What sets you up for success at Kendall Hunt?

We provide comprehensive, ongoing sales training so you have the tools and confidence to succeed, including:

Sales Training: Learn Kendall Hunt's proven sales process and how to effectively engage faculty, uncover needs, overcome objections, and move opportunities toward adoption.
Product Knowledge: Develop a strong understanding of our textbooks, digital solutions, and the unique value they provide. You'll also have opportunities to connect directly with authors and learn the stories behind their work.
Technology Expertise: Build your knowledge of the educational technology used by today's colleges and universities, including eBooks, virtual learning platforms, and adaptive learning tools.
Qualified Sales Opportunities: Spend more of your time selling and building relationships with interested faculty through a consistent pipeline of qualified leads.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys connecting with people, thrives on follow-up, and is motivated by turning conversations into results. At Kendall Hunt, you'll have the training, resources, and support to build strong faculty relationships while directly contributing to the growth of our Higher Education business.
