In the disrupted media advertising space, finding balance between reinforcing the value of core products while effectively growing the emerging digital offerings is extremely difficult.

In this webinar, Chris Edwards gives an overview of how his group has evolved to address these challenges. He will share the unique organizational approach used with his sales teams as well as specifics on how the compensation plans work and what they are designed to drive with each unique assignment of the various sales positions and responsibilities. As always, there will be candid feedback about what DID NOT work along the way to developing this current structure.
