Selling Radio Direct with Pat Bryson
How clear is your crystal ball?
2021 is looming. It’s time to set goals and expectations for the new year. It’s always difficult to gaze into your crystal ball and project the next 12 months. You never know what will happen: take a look at 2020! Who would have ever anticipated the past few months? And yet, we need to establish revenue budgets so that we may create total station budgets.
Pandemic or not, in reality, our process should not be focused on what management wants you to bill. It should be focused on what you want to earn. At the end of the day, you determine your paycheck. How you spend your billable hours, how you respond to changing market conditions, will ultimately determine your earnings. This will become critical in the new year as we make plans to recover our income levels.
