Digital Media Sales Training
Workshop Overview
Across the globe, digital media has gained in popularity, spend, and sophistication. Through working with clients with backgrounds in print, radio, TV, and outdoor, we know that many media sales professionals are simply not confident when discussing marketing & media strategies involving digital media. They may have good client rapport and sales process skills; however, they come undone when the client mentions Facebook or Google.
Our training programs are geared towards the media sales industry, and are designed to give non-digital professionals confidence, knowledge, and a working understanding of digital media, so they can carry and contribute to a conversation about digital media.
We believe every digital media sales professional should be capital T shaped. To properly position your digital marketing and media products, you need to know exactly where it fits within the marketplace. Typically, internal training programs by media agencies are product focused, and on features and benefits. Our training programs are externally focused, so you can see where your solution fits within the various alternatives. This gives a sales person immense confidence to truly see the competitiveness of their own product within the broader landscape.
To own this, you need to know ‘a little bit about a lot’ of digital. That is represented in the top of the T! This is the necessary knowledge you need to sell digital. The deep knowledge of your products in marketing and media is further strengthened from this knowledge. Therefore, once you develop the top of the T, the length of the T naturally strengthens from your own knowledge and internal training.
Over the years, we’ve developed a training solution that we tailor for our client’s, named Digital Media Sales Advantage. The program is updated, tailored, and customised for our clients’ requirements. Within the program, we deliver components of the ‘Top of the T’ whilst integrating and highlighting the position of our clients’ products. The program is very robust and well regarded.
