Making “friends” and getting “engaged” is your site’s next challenge. If you are facing the challenge of growing the traffic to your web site and selling around all the new social media applications to expand the revenue opportunity, this is the seminar for you. How do social media, blogs, and Internet video fit with your sales strategy? How do you sell advertising around them? What should you do first? We’ve put together this 90-minute Internet Sales Webinar for busy, time-strapped sales management and teams who would rather just close the deal but recognize they have more to learn about managing & selling online, particularly with the high demand from clients to sell audience engagement.

Based on research and discussions with magazine executives at all types of media companies, we’ve designed 90 minutes of intensive online strategy guidance from in-the-trenches sales strategy and tactics consultant Dan Ambrose who has worked with dozens of companies on selling online.
