"Low base, high pressure, long road to make good $"
What do you like about working at YellowBook?
"Business owners perception is print yellow pages is dead, just ask AT&T who sold their product. The other product offerings are good, but pricey and the image of Yellowbook has some tarnish to it."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"If you are young, with a fire in your belly, give it a shot. Who knows, you may actually be one who may stick. If you are a veteran sales person between jobs, or looking for a career change, there are most definitely other positions you should consider."
What don't you like about working at YellowBook?
"Too much emphasis is placed on bringing in new business, which is often mis-sold with the wrong, or poorly placed program, causing early cancelations. The pressure to produce new sales, or be fired, couple with micro managment and favoritism, causes high turnover. In a year and a half only 2 reps of a 10 person team are the same. The amount of time it would take for a veteran salesperson to make real money is far from satisfactory and not a good fit."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Take care of your current customers first, concentrating on that revenue and servicing them, and you will have to sell less new business and can sell them properly. Have a pay plan based on achieving going over last years revenue and not juggling the numbers as they are now, which are quite misrepresentative of actual results. They are a class action suit waiting to happen."
"Learned a lot about the multI media industry"
What do you like about working at YellowBook?
"I enjoyed the relationships I developed over time with my customers."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"How the company decided to cut our man power in half as well as our salary with no warning."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"To keep in mind that your sales people is what drives your business."
