"Industry Spotlight"

2018 MSI Graduates

The National Association of Black-Owned Broadcasters Telecommunications and Educational Foundation (NABOB) and PSP 1 had 16 candidates successfully complete the Media Sales Institute at the AUC this past June and have made a commitment for the 2019 MSI program and beyond. The Media Sales Institute (MSI) is an intense ten-day program designed to prepare college graduates, career changers and military personnel (Post 9/11) for a career in media sales. Personal Selling Principles (PSP) is the developer of the MSI and serves as the facilitator at the AUC.

The candidates, who are women and people of color, hailed from 10 colleges, universities, alumni and alumnae associations. Twenty-two Media recruiters sat in on the final two days of the program to view real world avails (presentations) given by the candidates and conducted one-on-one meet and greets. As a result, each of the participants is in negotiations for entry-level job opportunities with these companies. It was announced that NABOB and PSP 1 will renew the Media Sales Institute at the AUC for an additional seven years in order to build a sustainable pipeline for both, the AUC participants and the media sales industry. Funding for the initiative will be provided by NABOB, PSP and other Media Sponsors.

Dr. Cassandra Wells, Director of Marketing and Sales at Morehouse College, who host the MSI (at Morehouse College), was pleased with the institute and credited Jeffrey and Dana Myers from Personal Selling Principles (the facilitators) with "the institute's success." "We are proud to be a sponsor of the MSI program at Morehouse College. The commitment of the presenters, combined with Personal Selling Principles' efforts has prepared these candidates for successful careers in media sales."

The program received enthusiastic comments about the candidates and the program from the recruiters, which made it clear that NABOB and PSP have done a service to the candidates and to the industry by cosponsoring the MSI.
