Digital sales stalled? Here's a remedy: Hire people to sell digital



Earlier this year, we discovered that the No. 1 thing radio managers felt would drive more digital sales was hiring digital-only sales reps. In fact, it outranked, for the first time, the idea that digital sales would be driven best by training existing radio reps.

While the vast majority of stations still had nobody assigned exclusively to selling digital products, 45% of radio managers surveyed said it was needed. As 2024 approaches, what will drive digital sales at your station?
