Selling Advertising
Throughout my advertising experience I learned a lot about what it takes to get an ad. It isn't something you can just go and get the minute you ask for it. I experienced this particularly when I tried to get an ad from Weir's Motor Sales. It took me over the course of at least a month to get an ad from them. Finally when I was able to get into contact with the person that I needed to, we scheduled a time for me to pick up the check. When I got there, she was gone, and the check wasn't there. However, I e-mailed her later that day asking for her to mail it, considering Weir's was quite a ways away from my home. So in order to get an ad, be persistent, and don't give up.
Professionalism
Always be professional when you're trying to get an ad, or in any business situations at all. There were so many times where I wanted to go into Prime Honda or even Weir's and yell at them to be more professional and on top of their job. However, I kept my cool. I smiled at them, asked them to please make a decision, and thank them for their time. It may have come off fake, but I still got the ad so I definitely did my job.
