One of my favorite motivational or self-help speakers is Jim Rohn. Jim inspired many to think differently and encouraged us to be better than we once thought we could be.<\/p>\n
While Jim had a unique way of saying things, like \u201cYou GOTTA read the Booook\u201d, \u201cDon\u2019t say, \u2018If I could, I wouldddd.\u2019 Say, \u2018If I can, I will.\u2019\u201d. One of my favorite lines, that had a tremendous impact on me was,\u00a0\u201cDon\u2019t talk like they talk, don\u2019t act like they act, don\u2019t go where they go, don\u2019t doooooo what they do, don\u2019t be like the 97%, be different\u201d.<\/p>\n
Are you like every other media rep? Do you talk like they talk? Do you act like they act? Do you go where they go? Or do you do it differently?<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, too many media reps do what everyone else does. Eight times out of ten, it\u2019s not the media reps\u2019 fault. They are simply doing what they were taught and trained to do.<\/p>\n
So, what is it that can make you DIFFERENT? Do you ask better and deeper questions, or do you ask the same old CNA questions that everyone else uses? Do you create better, more in-depth proposals, or are you presenting the \u201cpackage of the week\/month\u201d? \u00a0Do you create strategies and write creative ads or just meaningless, ho-hum clich\u00e9 filled ads? Do you talk about your stations more than you talk about your clients\u2019 businesses and how you might help them? Do you create and present IDEAS to help grow their business, or do you simply present a station promotion or basic ad schedule?<\/p>\n
One of the keys to being a professional media rep is\u00a0being different.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t talk like they talk, don\u2019t act like they act, don\u2019t go where they go,<\/em><\/p>\n don\u2019t do what they do. Be the 3% – be different\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n Do you know\u00a0how\u00a0to be DIFFERENT?<\/p>\n If you are interested in training your team or group on \u201cHow to Be the Best Damn Radio Reps Ever\u201d in 2023, click here to arrange a call to discuss training opportunities.<\/p>\n Jim Rohn would also say,\u00a0\u201cDon\u2019t wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don\u2019t wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don\u2019t wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of my favorite motivational or self-help speakers is Jim Rohn.
