For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea. #America#Beautiful#Proudyethumbled#4thofjuly#fireworks#patriotless

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! #sales#motivation#gratitude#grateful#thankful#nationalpride. #proudtobeanamericanless

Mastering virtual selling is the current focus of our sales training clients. Salespeople, Sales Managers, and Business Owners are equipping themselves with the technology to do virtual meetings with buyers. Zoom meetings backed up by email and phone contact will ensure that you can continue addressing client needs and drive sales. This allows you to have face to face meetings without the necessity of in-person. Over the past 9 years, I have done over 1,500 online meetings with our clients, many of whom I’ve never met in person prior to starting services. If you’re interested in learning my 10 Steps to Master Virtual Selling, read on.

Yeah, that long ago. The AM stations I worked for had FM stations. That is where the announcers that were not seasoned enough went to be on the air on the AM. It was also the place that sales people were asked to place ad buys, but didn’t want to. Today Radio stations on a whole face the exact same problem. Radio people are experts at gathering data, writing stories and parsing information in small bites. This is exactly what Social Marketing needs in order to be successful! Radio ownership has been trying for nearly 10 years now to gain traction in this new sphere with limited success. Why? For the very same reasons no one wanted to sell the FM side of the station. They didn’t understand. Its not that Social Marketing is hard, it's just different. From a management point of view, the sales people will just trade dollars.

We presold our MLB inventory and we have been just doing a run of schedule for them with bonus spots to make up for no baseball but as the likelihood that the season gets canceled as a whole we are brainstorming ideas to keep those dollars without giving away too much.
Anyone doing any creative for their sports sponsors?

Payment by itself does not constitute a lottery. It is just one of the three elements, all of which must be present for a lottery to exist. They are: 1) prize; 2) chance (e.g., random drawing); and consideration (payment of some sort). The Foodie Bingo promotion as described above has removed the element of chance; it's strictly meritorious.
