Sellers And Sales Managers Seminar Oct 16 & 17

Now is the time to register all of your sellers and sales managers for the Sean Luce sales training seminars being held at the Trenton Marriott.  Make your room reservations directly with the Hotel at 1-800-228-9290 and be sure you tell them you are with the New Jersey Broadcasters Association to receive the special room rate.

Sean Luce will be training all sellers on Thursday and sales managers on Friday. Your registration for the meeting includes breakfast, breaks, lunch, and a reception.  This annual event is a member’s only benefit of NJBA and is offered at no charge to member stations. The room can only accommodate 100 sellers so its first come first served.  Millennium Broadcasting was the first group to register.

EEO1Source Open For Business

Stations all over the country are signing up for EEO1Source, the free EEO database service offered to member stations by NJBA. This new Computer program does it all - lists and distributes your jobs, records your interviews, tracks your hires and even prints out all of your required FCC reports. All stations will be receiving brochure outlining the program. All members can register right now, absolutely free of charge at the NJBA web site.   Here’s how.  Click on the EEO1Source logo, register your station group, and receive approval from NJBA via e-mail.  Once you receive approval, go back to the website and create a list of your stations.  Once you do this, the respective state association (NJBA) will again approve these applications and you’re good to go. Have problems?  Debbie is ready to help at 1-888-NJBA-Fone.

New EAS Program Test ???

NJBA will join with other states in testing a new web based portal for the direct activation of EAS from the Office of Emergency Management directly to every station in the state using an existing station computer and connecting it directly to the EAS box. Under this system, the OEM can have direct access to all stations without the problems of the daisy chain. Further, the system can deliver a voice message and well as pictures for TV. In addition, all emergency updates are automatic. We will be testing the program shortly. If it delivers as we expect it will, we will implement it at all stations at no cost to the stations whatsoever.

National Guard And Coast Guard Renew

Both the New Jersey Army National Guard and the US Coast Guard have renewed their annual NCSA programs with the New Jersey Broadcasters Association. These NCSA programs along with the State NCSA’s help fund all of the programs offered free to New Jersey Broadcasters Association members. The EEO1Source, Mid Atlantic States Expo, Sales Seminars, etc. are just a few of the major programs funded by the New Jersey NCSA program. We thank all of the states for their continued cooperation and participation.

From NCSA To Cash

NJBA was scheduled to start a month long NCSA program for the Division of Motor Vehicles. The spots were cut, the traffic orders went out, and at the last minute, working with the agency, we were able to convert the NCSA to cash business.  A win win for everyone.
