Agency Presentations

With 20 years of radio sales under my belt at a small market station,  I have never really had to present to an agency. We just get the call for spots.   I've reached out and am trying to break that cycle to get more of what's out there.   I don't have a whiz bang computer presentation...just your basic media kit.  We have gone from 3 to 6000 wats along with many other technical improvements because of new ownership. Does any one have any pointers?See More
