LBS Creative Expert, Tim Burt, answers LIVE broadcaster questions!  In this session:

  • How do you handle a dealer that’s having trouble selling their new inventory?
  • I have a small car dealer that is 90 days out from new inventory due to factory issues.

  • I’m in a market where advertisers were hurt by our station’s former leadership and our new leadership is trying to turn things around, what do you feel is the best approach?
