April 2013 Meeting Featuring Paul Weyland



Local Broadcast Sales Expert Sharing How To Develop "Million Dollar Ideas" 

We've rescheduled local broadcast expert Paul Weyland! Join AAF-CC as we present the President of Paul Weyland Communication Strategies and author of "Think like an Adman, Sell like a Madman," for the April  meeting with "Million Dollar Ideas."

The meeting is scheduled from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, April 9, at the Corpus Christi Town Club, One Shoreline Plaza at 800 N. Shoreline Blvd.

As a local broadcast sales expert, Paul will show you how to take control of the front-end of the local direct sale (the creative idea) and the back-end, asking for and getting an annual commitment.

Weyland will also cover how to come up with million-dollar ideas your clients will want to buy, at rate card. Then, he'll show you how to do a sim
ple ROI calculation that motivates clients to want to triple or quadruple their investment on your station, regardless of your rates, ratings, market size or format.

You’ll also learn the importance of cutting through clutter by using headlines that compel local decision makers to return your calls and emails, how to draft a proposal that your clients will want to read and why your price is the last thing you should compromise when trying to attract new business, even in a recession.

To conclude, Weyland will open up the session to attendees and take on any product/service category you can think of. On the spot, we’ll come up with great ideas you can take back to your market and use immediately. Because this is a Paul Weyland session, not only will you leave with dozens of ideas you can use immediately, but you’ll also be thoroughly entertained.
