Additional chapters introduce readers to the sales cycle, offer strategies for networking, and discuss prospecting and qualifying. Students learn how to craft various types of sales communications, how to approach media research, how to conduct a sales meeting, and how to hone their skills in persuasion and reasoning. Chapters address how to approach a client during a sales meeting, identify their needs, present pitches and solutions, overcome objections, and close a meeting with intention. Students learn about media kits, buyer personalities, quality customer service, the essential elements of a business contract, and ethical situations they may face in the field. Negotiations, international business, the business lunch, nonverbal signals, and the power of promotions are covered. Designed to serve as a complete introductory resource, The Rookie's Guide to Media Sales is an ideal textbook for courses and programs in media advertising.
