How to Take on Cable TV

Training Tip on Using Your Scarborough Data: Exercise #37

Instructions for the Leader(s):

Step 1:
Ask each Account Executive to pull up a Profile Report in Qualitap. A current or prospective client should be selected as the Criteria and cable information as the categories.

Hint: To find Cable TV information, go to the "TELEVISION/CABLE TV" classification and find the programs/networks you're interested in looking at.

Step 2:
At your next one-on-one meetings, ask each Account Executive to present information from that Profile Report that helps frame a story as to why the client should reconsider using cable and why they should use your radio station(s) instead.
