X-treme Co-op Advertising Webinar Scheduled This Week

Each year, some $50 billion of media advertising is financed through co-op programs. But while all co-op sales are worthwhile, the one-retailer-by-one-retailer approach is time-consuming and yields modest results. Dealer Groups and Distributors are where the big co-op money lies.

If your are a Radio seller or manager who has already mastered direct retail co-op funding, join RAB's Brandeis C. Hall for this advanced webinar, X-treme Co-op Advertising: Winner Takes All, and learn everything you need to know about selling to Dealer Groups and Distributors.

The webinar will be offered twice this week -- tomorrow at 3 PM (Central), and Wednesday at 10 AM (Central). For more information, click here.

Daily Sales Tip: The Team Sale: When sports franchises approach sponsors, they bring an entire sales team. The point is not to overwhelm, but to show deep commitment from the organization, and to be able to provide ideas, answers and suggestions immediately to the client, while they're in "the mode."

If you have a quality lead, ask for a meeting with a few members of your team: maybe your webmaster, a Promotion Director, or a PD. Your client will be impressed that they are worthy of everyone's time, and the ideas and answers will be plentiful.
