To piggy back on David...especially when its too early you should set a meeting anyway just to introduce yourself and what you have to offer. Most schools' fiscals years go from July-June, and I feel like the majority of decisions happen…

Sandi,

Thanks for your note! I'm so glad you found us! And you're right, it is a great source of ideas . . . I learn something new from our members every week. If there's a particular client for whom you'd like ad/promotion ideas, or anything else on which you'd like to get members' input, feel free to add a post to The Round Table forum. We're always happy to have a new topic to discuss!

Sandi,

I'm the guy that's done all those great jingles for local Lynchburg businesses.

I send out a radio sales tip newsletter called The Jingle of The Week. If you'd like to get a few great ideas every Monday morning, send me your email address and I'll hook you up.

Hello Sandi,

Welcome to Radio Sales Café, and thank you for joining us! How did you find out about the site?

I enjoyed your response to Kimberly Klostergaard's inquiry about ways to get churches on the air. That's a neat arrangement you've worked out with your area churches . . . a win-win situation for all parties involved!

Hope you have a great week,

Rebecca
