Challenge: Our overall usage as a station was at an all-time low. During the Pandemic, it quickly became a key issue for us as we were no longer in the office and having our weekly touch-bases in person. We desperately needed to track our activity and our revenue. Unfortunately, the majority of the team was not fully up to speed on how to put in pending, activities and revenue.
Solution: Jaclyn Lloyd, an Account Executive on our team and an avid Matrix user, quickly stepped up to the plate. She hopped on the weekly Friday calls with management and not only continued to learn the system inside and out but would then translate those phone calls into "how to" manuals for the rest of the sales team. She spent months implementing Matrix procedures and hopping on zoom calls with her team member to help assist in their Matrix Usage.
Key Benefits: The key benefit was simple. We quickly grasped our weekly activity and how much revenue that translated into. We saw the decline and slow pace of Digital.... used Matrix to research inactive Digital accounts over the last 4 years and got them back up and running. From a manager's standpoint, I was able to curtail their 3rd and 4th quarter budgets based off their pending and real time activity. Overall, our station managed to hit our Station Budget and I can confidently say our increased usage of Matrix contributed.
Matrix function(s) utilized to achieve this success: Deals Pending, Activity, Accounts, Revenue Reports (Digital and Local Broadcast)
