How to make it rain: Getting into a commercial mindset and showcasing your media brand's value

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

What makes a good media salesperson today? We'll talk about the need for creativity, a consultative approach, scrappiness, and above all being the customer advocate in the room.

In this panel, we feature two accomplished media sales professionals who did not start in sales. Erika was a journalist and Barrett ran public policy programs.

They understand how to articulate a media brand's value -- including pricing and differentiating yourself from the competition.

We are also open to doing a mini pitch clinic. If you are a media startup working on your pitch, step right up for the panel's feedback. Or share a commercial challenge you're dealing with and we'll discuss how we might tackle it.
