Abstract

A mini-training seminar resulted from this creative project designed to give radio salespeople an insider's view of the world of media buying. Media buyers and their practices are somewhat of a mystery to broadcast sales staffs and this program not only offers suggestions for personal and team growth, but also offers tips on how to improve sales staff relations with media buyers. Literature in the broadcast field supports the theory that periodic sales training and team bonding improve overall sales, team morale, and customer satisfaction. This training program consisted of three segments: an overview of the author's internship history, personal growth tips, and suggestions for team growth. The mini-training seminar was delivered to members of the Neuhoff Broadcasting radio sales staff on April 26, 2005 and training materials and a DVD of the actual presentation are included in this creative project binder. These training materials hold value for orientating new sales employees or as a refresher course for established sales teams.
