Selling Results, Not Space - A Two-Part Series
Hosted by OCNA: Tues, Aug. 31 (Part I) & Wed, Sept. 1 (Part II) 12pm – 1pm EST
This two-part series with Peter Kvarnstrom will help newspaper sales managers and representatives better understand advertising, their roles as sales reps and the critical importance of “selling results, not space.” Both webinars will stress the importance of treating sales as a profession and not just a job. A true Sales 101 session for your sales staff, whether new or a veteran, they will take away key points that can be applied to your publication.

What is a Webinar?
A Webinar is a combination of a conference call and a computer (Power Point) presentation. It is a low-cost way to offer valuable sessions to your staff: if you use a speaker phone and computer projector, the session can be shared with as many people that can fit in your board room!
