In today's competitive business world, having a strong sales team can be the difference between success and failure. A talented sales team drives revenue, enhances your brand's reputation, and fosters long-term customer relationships. However, assembling such a team requires more than posting a job ad and conducting interviews. It involves a strategic approach to recruiting, training, and retaining top sales talent. Here, we'll explore key strategies to help you build a high-performing sales team.

Where does this leave broadcast television? It depends. The advantage right now for broadcasters is that the streaming landscape is a confusing mess (to put it mildly). Sports fans must piece together different apps to find the event or league they enjoy watching. For example, MLB airs on the Fox Sports app, Apple+, and even has its own MLB app for the hardcore baseball fan. Are you a fan of the NFL? If you want to watch Thursday Night Football, you need an Amazon Prime subscription to do so.

Are you poised to lead in the ever-evolving media landscape? If you haven't already, it's time to circle April 14-17, 2024, on your calendar. ShareBuilders is eagerly anticipating your presence at the NAB Show in Las Vegas, the preeminent convergence of pioneers and innovators in the content industry.

One of the biggest trends we see at ShareBuilders is the strong demand for local news in the early morning and early news. On the flipside, there has been a lack of demand in late news over the past several quarters. Some of it is understandable, given how primetime viewing habits have evolved. More streaming and less primetime viewing means the lead-in for local news isn’t as strong as they were five or ten years ago.

Current polling suggests American voters are not excited about a presidential election rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, except maybe for broadcast television stations and cable news outlets.

In the age of endless streaming options, social media platforms, and digital advertising routes, it’s become trendy to pick on broadcast television. Actually, it has been for years. The talk of TV’s decline has been a hot topic for those in media, and the truth is, it has been affected to some degree by all of the above fragmentation.
