Steve Hartley out as DOS for Entercom Indianapolis

Theirs... rumor was the previous GM was asked to "retire" when he refused to let Hartley go, so with the new GM comes the DOS' demise. At least that's how it's being portrayed.
 
Jody Veldkamp. For the past several years he was responsible for WTHR's web sales.

That's the Internet Sales Manager position. What about Director of Sales? Steve's corner office still looks dark.
 
Entercom hired an Internet Sales Manager (former Susquehanna person) a week after letting Steve go. This guy replaces him. Has Steve landed anywhere? Too much talent and record of success to be sitting on the sideline!
 
Julie Reyburn, formerly of Susquehanna, and very tight with Jennifer, has been in charge of Internet sales for a couple months now. I would assume Jody V. is now their Sales Manager if he is new in the building.
 
Interesting! What are her credentials? Hasn't produced any billing!
 
heard the mind games and intimidation tactics from the old dos got old

entercom seems to be headed in a good direction with the new management team
 
Grey squirrel this is pink rabbit, I mean Apollo this is Steve Hartley. Hey Hartley, lose the Apollo login name. I think you should go with, "Overpaid for years". More fitting. Looks like someone needs to spend more time interviewing versus throwing stones. One would think Hartley would have learned the karma game at this point. Guess not. He's probably just forgotten how many people he's crossed in all his years. By the way, I worked there so this change in management was WAY overdue. The new GM, DOS, and GSM will actually work together well. What a crazy concept. I wish them luck.

By credentials do you mean like motivation, honesty, teamwork, drive, vision, knowledge? Yup, she's got em. Not like she had a whole lot of help with the old management. It was like watching two retards fighting over a melting popsicle.
 
While I'm definitely not personally connected to all this, Apollo's point regarding credentials has a bit of merit. I believe Ms. Estridge was hired as a sales manager not from prior radio sales experience, but rather as the owner of a small two-person, marginal ad agency that went under. Having said that, she's certainly been at Entercom long enough now for the new cluster manager to determine whether she's capable. :)

Mouseman, I believe that your first statement is incorrect. It sounds like you are definitely connected to all of it. Apollo's point has merit? Do you know Apollo? Prior radio experience? Just because anybody has PRIOR experience in ANY field doesn't mean they know their ass from a hole in the ground. It just means somehow they've stayed employed in the same field long enough that they can say they have prior experience. It doesn't mean they were good at it. Like yourself, which mountain do you sit atop and make snide remarks? You know so much but really so little. I'm sure your the baddest mo-fo in your cubicle. Always a TOP PRODUCER, right? Your a joke. You sound like one of those people who want to stand around all night and talk about "when you were in radio". Oh, the good old days. You've obviously self crowned yourself judge and jury on this link. If so, I find that humorous. Your awfully defensive Steve. I mean Mouseman. Your not close to this situation but you know of her prior dealings before Entercom. (Or I should say, you know nothing of her prior business dealings.) You've proved that by your statements. All were incorrect. Your selling a load and nobody's buying it. You sound like a disgruntled employee in radio that can't seem to find a team to pick you up. Mouseman, what you think of yourself might be a whole lot different than what others think of you. I'd almost bet on it.

Her drive is to get to the top over your dead body. Whatever it takes. Where there's a (Erika) Will, there's a way!
