For weeklies and smaller dailies without the budgets to bring me in for the two-morning course, this session is a fantastic alternative.
This course is designed for smaller dailies, weeklies, and other print publications throughout the world selling to local businesses who are claiming they have no money, that print is dead, that the other publication is cheaper and works better, and a host of other common objections.
Particiapnts will learn many of the techniques I teach in the full course that has helped more than 1,000 daily and weekly newspapers (and monthly publications, too) all over the world realize dramatic
increases in print and Web ad revenue fast--even in the middle of the recession.
Our clients believe it's the fastest way to drive serious sales fast. Read more or take a look at a multitude of case studies on our "Driving Serious Ad Sales In A Recession" blog.
Bonus: The course also comes with a year's access to our highly popular ad sales course for new hires to get them up to speed and productive fast.

Here's a small sample of the kind of techniques ad reps learn in this course. It shows ad reps how to eliminate virtually every upfront stall and objection they're getting in those first 30 seconds of a cold call (which often discourages them from making more cold calls).
Objections include "I have no money", "my budget is all set", "we're in a recession so I can't advertise", "I have no time", "print is dead", "you don't have enough circulation", and "your newspaper doesn't work for me".

We're one of the U.S.'s largest trainers of in-house creative services and ad production teams.
We believe you don’t need to have any special creative powers to get an instant and dramatic response from your print and online ads.
Instead, an ad should be the logical result of how people are consuming that particular medium, why target customers buy a product or service from one place rather than another, and other specifics about the business and competition.
During this session, my techniques will be illustrated by dozens of illuminating “before” and “after” case studies from a various types of business and you'll leave with a step-by-step approach to creating highly effective ads.
