How do Sales, Traffic, Production, On-Air & Billing Intersect?

Date: Wednesday, January 22
Time: 1pm CT (2pm ET, 11am PT)

Overview: How can small stations make the cycle of “proposal to cash” more efficient, less prone to error, and able to handle higher volumes without increasing manual workload? What tools are available to automate laborious processes, increase accuracy, and maximize revenue? Join Rob Bertrand, CEO of XTOC: The Technical Operations Company, as he details what he has learned over the course of his career in technology leadership of some of the industry’s largest commercial and public radio stations. Hear how the workflows and efficiencies he brought to public media from his commercial experience increased accuracy in a high-volume sales environment and enabled his stations’ sales teams to seamlessly sell broadcast and digital assets and automate many of the logistics required to successfully move from “proposal to cash.”
