January 28 - Professional Presentations: Turn Information into a Story That Sells – Taught by Anne Miller, Advertising, Presentation, and Sales Specialist
At a time when presentation skills need to be razor-sharp, too many ad sellers are “presenting” the virtues of their sites when they need to be “communicating” the value of their sites to advertisers and their bottom lines. And they need to do that in a compelling, engaging, persuasive way with confidence, authority, and credibility.
This 1/2 day seminar will show participants the difference between mediocre presentations that induce client yawns and exceptional presentations that close business.
With a combination of lecture, demonstration, and individual exercises, participants will learn how to:
- Properly plan for specific presentations
- Instantly connect with their buyer(s)
- Build buying momentum for their story and make it compelling and engaging
- Turn a presentation from a monologue into a dialogue
- Give meaning and clarity to complex visuals
- Close easily and naturally to the specific next step in the sales process
- Deliver a presentation with confidence, authority, and passion
This seminar is designed for both junior reps with at least one year’s experience who need to get on top of their presentation game as well as more seasoned reps who want to re-tool and refine their performance.
Not only will participants gain a much deeper appreciation of what it takes to make a winning sales presentation and a clear understanding of their strengths and areas of weakness, they will acquire tools, tips, and techniques to apply what they’ve learned and ultimately bring in more business for their companies.
Anne is well-known in the media industry as a respected author, speaker, and seminar leader. In the last twenty-five years, she has taught salespeople at more than 100 print and online companies, including Yahoo!, DoubleClick, PointRoll, UGO, and Visible World, how to sell millions of dollars worth of advertising.

February 25 - Getting Credit for Your Impressions: Understanding and Using Attribution Models – Taught by Morris Martin of the Microsoft Advertising Institute
Digital media has always been defined by its measurability and accountability, but marketers are increasingly realizing the limitations of today’s narrowly defined metrics. Specifically, the last ad standard that has been in use for nearly a decade has become antiquated as ad campaigns become more complex, users spend more time online, and advertisers reach individuals across multiple channels. Analyzing campaign success within distinct silos is highly limiting and assigning all the credit to the last ad served is overly simplistic, and conflicts with marketers’ need for true accountability.
This class will highlight flaws in current attribution systems that limit the efficiency of digital media on both the buy- and sell-sides, and describe ROI metrics that credit success based on a more nuanced perspective. We will outline industry-leading techniques and cutting-edge technologies that are aimed at solving these problems and paving the way for the next generation of defining the currency of online media. Specifically, this seminar will:
- Demonstrate research around the amounts of data currently being discarded and synergies being ignored by traditional last-ad ROI systems.
- Identify publisher positions in the sales funnel and those who stand the gain the most from holistic, alternative ROI measurement techniques.
- Discuss next-generation ROI solutions in detail - including how they will affect publishers – and identify opportunities for publishers to get involved in shaping the space.
Targeted at mid- to senior-level publisher executives, the approaches presented in this class will help you more effectively present your offering to marketers and capture more of the value that your sites bring to the marketing landscape.
9:00 AM - 11:30 AM, IAB Offices in NYC, $249 non-members / $149 for IAB Members

March 25 - Best Practices in Yield Management – Taught by James Deaker, Director, Microsoft Advertising Monetization Excellence
Two areas that have significant impact on overall monetization capability are pricing and inventory management, or put another way, Yield Management. For publishers, yield management is an increasingly important area of their businesses as they seek to not only sell more impressions, but also to sell impressions at a higher yield, maximizing revenue. As such, the goal of this program is to help publishers monetize their sites more effectively through the utilization of best practice yield/inventory management and pricing methodologies. The course will present an overview of best practices for product definition, inventory forecasting, rate card development and pricing policies. Participants will gain an understanding of the current state-of-the-art techniques, as well as analytical skills for improving the revenue opportunity on their sites. Taught by James Deaker, Director, Publisher Advisory Services at Microsoft.
