Our Annual Sales Superhero has been chosen from YOUR votes!
Tony Bottorff, WPXI-TV, was our Q2 2019 winner with a compelling success story showcasing how he utilizes the Matrix morning 'Espresso Shot' function in order to stay organized and consistently over budget. He was with Matrix in Miami Beach at the 4th Annual Media Ad Sales Summit where we announced him as the first annual Sales Superhero. Check out his story below:
--Challenge: As a media rep, I sell broadcast TV, a full menu of digital strategies, sponsorships, and specific company initiatives everyday. Earlier in my career, I struggled to keep my "to do" list organized resulting in missed sales and opportunities.
--Solution: I rely heavily on Matrix's "Espresso Shot" every morning to keep me on track. I still block off time to cold call and follow-up with clients in my calendar, but the ability to have all of my calls for the day in one place makes all the difference. Even with prospects who aren't ready to buy, I'm easily able to set periodic touch base calls to see if any new opportunities fit with their current strategy.
--Key Benefits: Since implementing Matrix as my CRM, I've been consistently at or over my budgets the last four years. In Q2 2019, I'm currently pacing at 168% to goal with my new business budget, 161% to my digital budget, and have sold a key station initiative through May 2020.
