You’ve heard of KISS? Now learn about DISS – Digital Inventory Sales Simplified! 

Does the thought of selling digital advertising keep you tossing and turning at night? Before you reach for that bottle of Melatonin, register for this informative session that will demystify the digital sales process.  

True to the intent of the KISS principle – keep it simple, stupid, don’t miss this high-energy, yet down and dirty session that will cover all that you need to know. From tips on building print and digital packages, to strategies that get the conversation with your advertisers started, this is sure to be the webinar of your dreams. 


Presenter:

Sales Coach. Trainer. Creator. Mentor. I’m Robin Thompson and I’m a Sales/Talent Development Manager at Advance Local, the parent company of Syracuse.com and The Post-Standard. After spending 30 years working with local and national clients at The Post-Standard in media sales management, I transitioned to my current position where I focus on new hire onboarding, sales training, coaching, product knowledge and revenue generation.  My goal is to develop media sales professionals who can help their clients navigate today’s digital world.

Born and raised in St. Louis, I have an advertising degree from the University of Missouri School of Journalism.  Since one of my mantras is “learning never stops,” I recently completed a 6-month Business of Cannabis certificate program through Syracuse University to cultivate my knowledge in this rapidly expanding industry. 

In my downtime I love outdoor gardening, reading on my Kindle, everything rock n’ roll, and anything hockey.


Over the course of this five day virtual event, you will participate in interesting and motivating daily training sessions led by notable industry experts.

Whether you are new to advertising sales or are a seasoned veteran, you will walk away with practical and effective tips and solutions to help boost your advertising revenue.
