Did you read this? Farid Suleman (ABC Citadel) is considering cutting his sales staff now. It's bad enough radio is moving towards more voice tracking, now the sales people are endangered species too. Who could have seen this one?
Farid bueller believes, as much as half of the revenues would come in with or without a salesperson. Ok maybe a clerk could work the accounts. As quoted in Inside Radio "why are we paying commissions for that revenue?" So I bet CC, Saga & Cox and the rest of the clones must be thinking the same thing. And I'll add agency avails will be booked over the internet. Just like the airlines!
So this means if your station is # 1 or # 2 and you’re an ad guy or gal selling with a big agency list, look out! You could be next.
If Faird bueller tries the great experiment and it works. Guess what! Send in the clones they will all see and due. I'd love to buy you a lovely bunch of bannas. But I can't because I'm out of work. LOL
The good news is, they’ll be more coffee for the on air people. just kidding they’ve cut that budge too.
Who names their kid Faird anyway?
Seems like you might be safer with a station that’s # 17th because the agencies won't be calling.
Hey bueller, have some guy or gal from India working the agencies! Just change his or her name to Bob or Susan.. They'll never notice. and you can pay them $1.00 an hour.. Oh shouldn't done that.. given them any ideas.. Hello my name is Bob.. oh my god.
I really thought radio was done cutting the fat but I'm wrong, again!
Has voice tracking hurt radio? or does anyone care.

Taylor said: You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!
