What We Do . . .

Each of the associates of PC&A has areas of specialization to serve client's particular needs including:


  • Retail advertising sales rep training ... both in the classroom and on-the-road coaching.

  • Sales manager mentoring/training.  We work to help your ad managers gain industry knowledge in a supportive environment.

  • Internet revenue strategies, pricing and sales training; content and design assistance; proven ideas to build traffic and revenue!

  • Customized sales training for retail, internet and classified departments with our unique "Sales Training Academy TM" approach.

  • "Quick Start!" TM classroom and road coaching for new reps, to reduce staff churn and increase rate of effectiveness -- a problem in our industry.  Program has been in use since 1999 by companies like Tribune's DSA division for its 200 retail ad reps.

  • Shopper and non-subscriber product development and repositioning -- from the largest shopper companies, to profitable non-subscriber companies at small dailies, our associates have outstanding credentials. 

  • Acting Executives ... PC&A associates can step in during an emergency, or until your new hire arrives -- for a month to a year.  We have qualified publishers, presidents, ad directors, circulation directors, new media guru's, and distribution managers.

  • Acquisition scouting and representation.  We help you find the acquisition, close the deals and get through the transition.

  • Preparing newspaper for sale.  Improve your balance sheet and operation to get ready for sale.  We understand what buyers are looking for and can assist you with difficult valuation decisions -- based on your future, not just your past.

  • Competitive intelligence and training.  We specialize in helping your staff sell against print, niche, radio, TV, spot cable and billboard competitors.

  • Niche product planning and launching -- real estate books, parenting publications, business newspapers, internet guides, phone books, glossy coupon magazines and targeted content publications.
