Advertising sales is an established trade here: 2,200 agents in the Miami metro, median pay $62,880. Below: what the job is, how the money works, and what the public data says about Miami as a market.
Nobody assigns a desk. Reps work from home, from the road or from a coffee shop in Miami; results are what get measured. The work is local business development. You prospect in the Miami metro, pitch the YelloPost service line, sign accounts and maintain them; the campaigns themselves are built and run by the fulfillment team.
You are paid 18% recurring on the ad spend of every account you sign and maintain, every month. There is no base salary and no draw, and there is no cap on how many accounts you can stack.
Who it is for: hunters who self-direct, former local-media reps who know how to talk to business owners, and people with a side business who want compounding referral income. Who it is not for: anyone who needs a guaranteed paycheck on day one. Sign an account spending $3,000 a month and you earn $540 a month on it, automatically; twenty accounts at that average is $10,800 a month before you close another deal.
The concentration figure is the useful one: a location quotient of 1.3 means the occupation is about 1.3 times as concentrated here as in the US workforce, so local businesses are used to being called on and the reps who win are the ones who bring something new. Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL employs 2,200 advertising sales agents, 0.8 per 1,000 jobs. Wages: mean $77,290, median $62,880. Nationally the same occupation pays a mean of $80,670 and a median of $64,820, so the Miami metro sits about the same as the country. Those are W2 figures for salaried and base-plus-commission sellers; the YelloPost seat is 100% commission and uncapped, so the BLS numbers are the floor the market already pays for this skill, not a ceiling.
