The Census counts 7,755 employer businesses in the Vallejo metro; that is the pool a YelloPost rep sells into. Below: what the job is, how the money works, and what the public data says about Vallejo as a market.
A YelloPost advertising sales rep in Vallejo, CA prospects local businesses, walks them through the services that fit, closes the account and stays on it for as long as it runs. You do not have to live in Vallejo. The territory is the metro, the work is mostly phone, video and email, and some reps meet business owners in person because it helps them close.
Compensation is 100% commission at a flat 18% of monthly ad spend, recurring for the life of the account while you actively manage it. No base, no hourly, no draw. Protected territory once you sign a deal in it.
The arithmetic: a $3,000-a-month account pays you $540 a month for as long as it runs; twenty such accounts pay $10,800 a month. This is for people who would rather own their accounts than rent them: self-starters, reps from the local-advertising world, side-business owners with a network. It is not for anyone who wants a salary, a draw or a lead list.
The business base is 7,755 establishments with employees, 17.2 per 1,000 residents, 31 percent below the national figure (US: 25).
