Because media selling today requires focusing on a customer’s success, a salesperson’s number one objective is to get results for customers. Other objectives are to develop new business, to retain and increase current business, and to delight customers. The numberone sales strategy to accomplish these objectives is to create value for your product. Other strategies are to research and develop insights into prospects’ and customers’ problems, challenges, pain points, and competitive positioning. Key tactics are to create a differential competitive advantage, to build relationships, and to solve problems, and functions related to the key tactics are to monitor the marketplace, to recommend tactics, and to cooperate.
Much of the remainder of this book will be spent helping you develop the attitudes, emotional intelligence, skills, knowledge, opportunities, preparation, and persistence necessary to become a salesperson who can help both direct buyers and agency buyers make effective and efficient media investments.

Project
Make an appointment with the person responsible for purchasing advertising at a large advertiser in your market (not at an advertising agency). This person might be the sales manager of a large automobile dealer or the head of marketing at a large hospital. Interview this person and ask him or her what they expect of media salespeople, what attributes they would like to see, and what kind of service they expect. Make a list of these answers and compare them to the answers that professional media buyers gave in the IRTS survey in this chapter. Are there any differences? What are they? What did you learn from this exercise?
