Free Local Broadcast Sales webinar for MBA members on Tuesday, December 9th.

This presentation will equip you with the Universal Sellers Checklist for modern broadcast sales teams. Together, we will bridge the gap between dial-tuning analog and click-heavy digital with a 40-question framework designed to deliver measurable ROI and silence the “digital-only” objection. Stop guessing whether your ads are working! Learn how to lock in your clients, future-proof your commission, and deliver campaigns that are truly “AirTight”.
