The Opportunity: We are seeking motivated Independent Sales Agents, across all of Canada, to expand our book program into new retail locations across Canada

- No Risk for the Retailer: We offer free shipping on all orders and returns, and new locations can test the program with no long-term contract
Ideal Candidate:
- Experienced in Route Sales: Background in the Canadian gift, pharmacy, or grocery sectors is a major asset.
- Passionate Reader: The most successful agents understand our product and can help retailers curate their assortment to reach our primary demographic
