A Day In The Life


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Morning       

9am
Arrive into the office, time for a tea or coffee.

9:30am
Start selling! Call existing and new clients and book their print and online advertising.  Using leads you have researched in competitor titles and online you will be both managing existing advertising campaigns and selling to new ones
 
11am
You may be working on a deadline today. If so, all confirmations, paperwork and artwork has to be with production or finance by now.  Have you got the all-important card details or email to ensure your team hits their target?

12pm or 1pm   
Time for a bite to eat, an hour to enjoy.  Lots of choice locally in any direction or the 11th floor restaurant. If it's sunny, maybe enjoy the terrace with gorgeous views over London.

Afternoon           

2pm             
Sell some more - this is always the best time to speak to people! Make time for any admin work that needs to be cleared and check your latest newsletters, magazines or websites for the latest great content that your clients might appreciate advertising around.
                    
4pm
Update all client information on the Contact Manager system to ensure you don't miss a thing. This allows you to remember every point you discussed and set all your future calls, appointments and deadlines. 
 
5pm
The teams are updating the manager on all their deals for the day so targets are up to date and everyone knows what needs to happen tomorrow.  Or if it's Friday and we have hit our department targets, get down the pub with your team.
 
5:30pm      
Head off home!
