Inside Sales Executive – Book Publishing

Company: Lapsus Creations

Employment type: Full-time

Experience: 1–3 years preferred

Department: Sales / Business Development

Customer-facing role: Author Publishing Consultant

About Lapsus Creations

Lapsus Creations helps authors turn manuscripts into published books through editing, cover design, formatting and publishing support. Our author dashboard helps writers follow their publishing journey. We are looking for a thoughtful, results-oriented salesperson who can guide authors and convert qualified enquiries into paid publishing projects.

About the role

You will manage assigned inbound leads from first contact through discovery, package recommendation, follow-up and payment. You will work directly with the founder and coordinate with the publishing team to ensure a clear handover and realistic author expectations.

Key responsibilities

- Respond promptly to inbound enquiries through calls and approved messaging channels.

- Understand manuscript readiness, book length, publishing goals, budget and timelines before recommending a package.

- Explain services, package eligibility, prices, inclusions and exclusions clearly; demonstrate the author dashboard when relevant.

- Handle objections, agree on clear next steps and close suitable opportunities without misleading promises or unnecessary pressure.

- Maintain accurate lead records, quotations, follow-up dates and outcomes in a CRM or spreadsheet.

- Coordinate agreements and payment confirmation, and hand over the agreed scope to the publishing team.

- Work towards agreed sales targets, report pipeline progress and apply feedback from call reviews.

What we are looking for

- Preferably 1–3 years of inside sales,



consultative B2C sales or service-sales experience, with personal responsibility for closing paid sales.

- Clear verbal and written communication, strong listening skills and confidence in handling customer questions.

- Reliable follow-up habits, organized lead management and comfort with calling tools, business messaging and spreadsheets or a CRM.

- An honest, respectful approach to authors, a willingness to learn and the ability to apply coaching.

- Publishing experience is welcome but not essential. Relevant selling ability matters more than a particular degree or industry background.

How success will be assessed

We will review paid projects and collections alongside lead response, qualified conversations, quotation progression, completed follow-ups, accurate records and the quality of delivery handovers. Targets will be agreed during onboarding and assessed against assigned lead volume and the sales cycle.

Why join us

Work directly with the founder, take ownership of the enquiry-to-sale journey, learn the publishing process and help authors bring their books to life. Your customer insights will help improve how LC serves authors.

Selection process

Selection includes a short interview, a sales role-play using an LC package brief, a written follow-up exercise and an opportunity to apply feedback.

How to apply

Apply through this job platform with your CV and a short note describing a service sale you personally closed. Include your availability to join and the languages you can use professionally.
