Here’s an excerpt from the podcast:
Fred Diamond: Tell us a little more about sports marketing. Do your calls get answered right away because you’re calling from Monumental and you’re representing an exciting group of products? Or, do you have to work hard to get in the door? How does the balance work these days?
Patrick Duffy: It’s not a lot of inbound. It’s outbound so it’s very similar to a lot of other industries. Certainly is a bit of cachet to the sports industry but not everybody is a sports fan by any means so we work with people who are sports fans. At the end of the day I think everybody values a strong audience so that’s really where we try to focus in on and make sure that we can tell a compelling story of what we can deliver. But, it’s a lot of outbound and heavy effort but at the end of the day, kind of what to be expected in the sales space.
