Laying Groundwork for Negotiating Rates
Strong outcomes start before the first call. We benchmark audience fit (reach, AQH, TSL), inspect station logs and historical pricing, and map competitor activity to set hard guardrails and walk-away points. With this, stations aren’t selling “rate cards”; they’re justifying price against evidence. We also pre-build package options; alternative dayparts, lengths (:10/:20/:30), and station mixes, so we can pivot fast without losing effectiveness.
