Mrs. Bryson emphasized selling business to Direct Clients. We went through the different stages of the sales process, focusing on the best techniques for customer needs analysis and the presentation of our services to the customers. In fact, our sales people learned much about how to be more successful and effective. The application of this new knowledge gave us real results immediately after the training.

*dynamic and effective presentation of materials
*a focused and organized approach to training, and
*an excellent aptitude for adapting the knowledge she has gained as an American broadcaster to the very different market conditions of a post-communist society.”

Dear Ms. Bryson:
I attended your Broadcasting Seminar in Almaty, Kazakstan. I would like to recommend your services to anyone wishing to learn more about the process of selling radio. We received good feedback from the broadcasters, journalists and faculty members who attended the seminar. The sale of advertising on radio and TV is an emerging industry in Kazakstan. Your techniques pointed the way for us.
Sincerely,
Gulnara Medeubeiova
Senior Teacher of International Department of Faculty of Journalism of Kazak State National University.
“Pat’s multifacted personality enables her to be a great manager–very smart, efficient, supportive, imaginative and decisive. Her people skills are the best I’ve seen. I watched in amazement as she interacted through an interpreter with a large group of professional women in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, and left them hanging on her every word. I’ve seen her do the same with a class of broadcast students at Oklahoma State University.”
