I decided to take a new tact with advertising for new people. I am including it below. What we are doing is having people go through training BEFORE they apply to us for work. Additionally, when someone applies we send them through lesson 1 and 2 (quite a few decide not to take the job... and that is a good thing). Okay here you go:
Title: Have Applicants Trained in Radio Sales Before They Walk Through The Door
We have heard from everyone that it is harder than ever finding sales reps. And as you know even when you find a rep there is no telling if they will last.
So we want to try to make things easier for all you broadcasters. We created Radio Sales School – Learn How To Sell Radio and it is 100% FREE! We also put together some radio ads for you to run on your stations. The idea is to get people in your area trained in radio sales before they even walk through the door. Thus taking the burden of training and the up front cost of training off your shoulders.
Here are the scripts and the audio for the ads. You do not have to use ours but we wanted to make this super easy for our fellow broadcasters.

The cost of a bad hire can be in the thousands of dollars in training and lost opportunities. I would rather burn them out in the front of the process than later down the road when they have spent most of their time faking you out. This profession can pay a great wage for those really serious about their career.
This training is a great salesmans dream and a bad salesmans nightmare.
Take the risk out of hiring a bad seed!
