TV Media Sales- An honest living? “I sell air for a living!” Billy Crystal in City Slickers • TV air time salesmen are not unlike used car salesmen in business style, • mannerisms and scruples. • Sales prices are based on point forecasts that are very subjective. • Negotiations last for hours over the forecast and price for the • purchase of single 60 second time slot. • Rating points forecasts based on: • - historical rating trends • - quality of show • - available inventory of air time • A “post analysis” report can be conducted after each show.

  6. Mixed Strategy for Media Sales • If we rule to update clients regularly, we will always earn $2,000. • If we believe less than one of every three clients conducts analysis regularly, we • should make a rule not to update and we will earn $3,000. • Mixed Strategy: If we do not change anything, we will average $2,000 over time. • If we believe clients will recognize our pattern of action, we should try to • negotiate to (4000,2000) square and split the profits so we would each get $3,000.
