New Free White Paper from SalesFuel® Exposes Latest Opportunities and Challenges in Television. 

The 8th “State of TV Media Sales” white paper from AdMall® finds that the state of the industry is good year over year, but there is a lot of room for improvement. 68% of managers say their sales team’s results were up in 2017 (vs. 2016), and most sales teams met or exceeded their sales goal in 2017 (only 44% came up short). 

As the media landscape becomes increasingly fractured and segmented, television media executives, TV sales managers and sales reps across the nation are facing similar obstacles.
AdMall’s survey respondents reveal that revenue is expected to grow despite the challenges. The free downloadable white paper is chock-​full of fascinating data and information, including the following:

• The economic sectors presenting the most revenue opportunities for 2018
• Is it getting easier to sell digital?
• What do survey respondents say about replacing lost revenue? Is it harder or easier this year?
• What’s the predicted rate of revenue growth in 2018?
• What’s the real rate of television sales staff turnover?
• How many TV sales managers are able to hire and retain quality high-​performance salespeople?
• How many sales managers and reps say they don’t have time for professional development and skill improvement for themselves or their team? And WHY they say they don’t have the time.
