The reason why businesses advertise with The Reporter group is because we reach a targeted market. The people that receive any of our 4 papers that we publish actually read it from cover to cover. The news that is in the papers can't be found on line. We publish news of local interest and that they won't get on line. We also print national and international news and this way they get it all in one place. Their ads work, they do get responses!

The people that get the paper actually want the paper and they read the paper and many have told me over the years that they enjoy seeing the advertising because we actually do a different theme in the paper each week that will tell a story!

I don't think a degree matters when you are talking about customer service. You have to know your product... I sell advertising, if there is a problem with an ad I know how to make the client happy. I can possibly run the ad again corrected for free. I could put a correction in the paper, I could give them a free ad later on. It depends on who is at fault with the error. I always send a proof so the client has to sign off on it. I worked at Macy's in Herald Square for 6 years as the service manager handling all complaints in the departments I covered. The most important thing to remember is to be kind. Kindness is the real answer. You don't need a degree for that!
Generally I would call someone new and ask if they have the time to talk. If they sound interested I ask if I can email them information, I then follow up with another phone call. I do try to find out through them what it is they want to do. I love connecting people and anyone who knows me...

I do try to find out through them what it is they want to do. I love connecting people and anyone who knows me through the paper also knows they can call me if they are looking for someone and I usually have the information they are looking for. If I get far with the 1st call and follow up I will tell them about our networking group.

I have always loved selling and working for a group of newspapers (4) in different areas my world just keeps getting bigger. I love helping each of the communities by finding businesses that the subscribers need and getting the information for those businesses into the papers for my clients. After doing this for almost 23 years my clients have become my friends and I care about all of them I never think about what I am going to earn from selling an ad. It's more important to me to help them and give them the best advice on when they should run an ad and helping them to create ads if they don't send in camera ready ones. It's a perfect job for me!

I believe that in order to maintain a client you have to be sure you are on top of what they need in a timely manner. In advertising I always send a proof of their ad. I communicate when the best issues would be for them to advertise and I make sure I keep a record of everything they tell me about their personal life so I can ask in future conversions questions relating to what it was they told me. We become friends and I really care about them and their business. I am not pushy. There are reason why if they can't place an ad at the time I call I ask when a better time would be and if they were still interested. I have been doing this for almost 23 years and my world just keeps getting bigger. I love it and what I do.
