Dear Terrified,

Dear Terrified,

If the answer is YES, then get out of the sales business. What I mean by that is get into the RELATIONSHIP business and be a problem solver. Start by meeting people. Then learn about what they do and discover how your product/service can help them solve their pain and problems. Learn about what they are trying to accomplish and help them do that with what you offer.
It is possible that this is a mindset issue. If you are determined to help people solve their problems, then the income will follow. If, you are approaching every relationship "just to get the sale," this is going to be very difficult for you.
Best to You,
Brad Clark, General Sales Manager, Total Country BOB-FM (KLCI-FM, KDDG-FM, KBGY-FM Minneapolis/St. Paul)
It's nice. Rather ad intensive, thought of raising your rates or selling more 1/2 pages than 1/4? Threw me off to have pages 2-4 all ads.
Love the editorial, really looks good. Content is a winner.

No. If you know what print piece will deliver your target audience and you have a worthwhile CTA without an ad that is too texty it still works. Challenge your print rep to bring out ideas that will help you convert their readers into your customers. Most print reps are only selling real estate...
