Many local and general sales managers will tell you that sales management is the hardest job in radio today. They have more people to manage, more things to sell, and less support staff than ever before. They have to stay on top of everything and are frequently so busy with "reporting up" that the line of reps outside their door leaves little time for brainstorming. And in Spanish-language radio, if sales managers are not Hispanic, they need to learn the nuances of Hispanic culture -- and fast!
To the rescue is a panel of sales experts, armed with inspiration and ideas, and only at the Hispanic Radio Conference, coming up March 4-5 in Dallas. Your sales manager -- or you -- can take their ideas back to the station and put them to work right away. This session is guaranteed to help you better manage your staff, plan and organize your time, and bring results to the bottom line.
Our sales gurus will offer suggestions on how to bill more revenue for your clients, and your station, tomorrow. You'll walk away with new ideas about how to combine digital and radio assets into creative client opportunities that can lead to bigger shares and stronger marketing ties. Bring your calculator to this session -- you'll want to add up all the possibilities!
