We Train You to Win

Royal Publishing offers full-time inside-sales positions in a climate-controlled environment. Our sales and sales support management team has 165+ years of experience, designed to give you an unbeatable on-the-job training including all the necessary tools you need to accomplish great things. In business since 1979, we are able to provide each sales representative with established sales leads and a proven sales presentation so you have every chance to succeed. Whether you have years of experience or have never made a sale before, you will learn the skills and techniques to get the most out of every call you make.

Earn More from Your First Sale

Royal Publishing offers a competitive hourly rate which is paid bi-weekly PLUS a bonus that is paid on a monthly basis. For the first 4 months we pay up to $10 extra on every ad you sell starting with your very first ad; the larger the ad, the more money you make on each! And you even have the opportunity to make up to 23% of what you sell. The great thing is, beginning with ad one, you will be making more than your hourly rate.

Recognition for Every Level of Success

Along with a Bonus Plan that begins with the first ad sold, we know that motivation is a key driver in sales and WE BRING IT! We have a Royal Rewards and Recognition Playbook that includes SPIFFs, Sales Incentives, Sales Awards, and Longevity Recognition.

Custom Design Your Benefit Package at Royal Publishing!

At Day One we offer a Casual Day for Charities Program where we “Lend a Helping Hand” to local charities. Our Casual Day program is optional to our employees at the cost of only $1 per day. With that dollar, the employee is able to dress casual (jeans, t-shirts, tennis shoes, etc.) on our scheduled “Casual Days”. What’s even better is that our employees vote to select where some of that money goes! Some of the organizations that have received this contribution include: Big Brothers Big Sisters, Camp Big Sky, Center for the Prevention of Abuse, Center for Youth and Family Solutions, Central Illinois ELITE Outreach Program, Children's Home, Crittenton Center, Dream Center, Family House, Junior Achievement of Central Illinois, Moms Who Care, Neighborhood House, Pediatric Resource Center, Peoria Zoo at Glen Oak Park, Stroke Alliance, Tazewell County Children's Advocacy Center, Tri-County Urban League, and the Quad Cities Autism Center. Join us in giving back to the community!

On top off the Casual Day program, you immediately start earning Paid Time Off, and we also have additional programs and services that are available to you through our Employee Assistance Program. At just 3 months we make available Health Insurance, Paid Holidays, Medical Reimbursement, and Dependent Care Reimbursement. At that time, we also encourage you to start contributing to your 401k Plan, and you can begin using your Earned Paid Time Off. At 1 year, we roll out these additional optional benefits: Paid Vacation Time, 401k Employer Contributions, Dental and Vision Insurance, Life and AD&D Insurance and Paid Bereavement Leave.

Career Paths Beyond Sales

Royal Publishing doesn’t only employ sales representatives. We have a strong support team that assists in making it all happen.
