Added Value—Prospect List

We will send you a list of business market segments that should be primary target accounts for each section. Your sales force can use this information to focus on these businesses to generate additional revenues for every special section you publish. We include this prospect list of business categories with each special section package for no added charge. We realize our business is only successful if your business is successful.

More Added Value—Sales Script

We understand print advertising sales and we know that even your best salespeople have a difficult time selling every special section you produce. They have their best success when they feel confident the section will benefit the advertiser. We have written sales scripts you can use both in Display Sales and Telemarketing. We have also written a benefit/value package for each special section we sell. We include this sales script and benefit/value list with each special section package for no added charge.

We Make it Easier to Sell Advertising

Selling advertising has never been easier. We will send you an electronic version of each section with the ad space already plugged in. Your salespeople can simply walk into a customer and ask “Which space do you want?”

Well, they may want to do a better job of selling than that, but it can be that easy. You receive a copy of the section already designed with ad space allowed for each of your salespeople to use when they are selling each special section. The pre-designed sections are tabloid format in full, process color. You can print the section from the electronic file on your laser printer for your salespeople to have on hand when selling advertising. Many papers have found that using a preprinted section with blank ad space pre-formatted results in more advertising revenue.

7 Ways To Keep Your Team Motivated

By Kelley Robertson

Many managers mistakenly think that money is the prime motivator for their employees. However, according to surveys by several different companies, money is consistently ranked five or lower by most employees. So if money is not the best way to motivate your team, what is?

The three most important issues according to employees are; respect, a sense of accomplishment, and recognition. Yes, money is important but it is not as critical as these other components. Taking these into consideration, let’s explore seven ways to keep your team motivated:

1. Involve them. Many employees want to be involved in the ongoing development and progress of their company. Plus, they often have insightful ideas that can make a significant difference in the company. And when they are involved, they buy-in faster and resist less. This means you can implement the change(s) more quickly and easily.

2. Communicate. Very few businesses can be accused of over-communicating.
