ADVERTISING SALES

Here at MES we have a rich history of selling advertising space to businesses and individuals. It's what started it all for us. We've worked with most of the most influential agricultural magazines in South Africa, and more recently have ventured into doing sales for large exhibitioners, radio and television stations and multimedia houses.

If you have a project, but don't have an effective sales team in tact, we'll contact prospective clients from our extensive customer database, make sales presentations, maintain client accounts, and often work under pressure to meet sales quotas.

Before meeting with a prospective client, our sales agent will gather background information on the client's products, the geographic area of the target market. Our sales agent then meets with the client to explain how specific types of advertising will help promote the client's products or services most effectively.

Sales closing is our game, so have our dream team do their thing for your project today.
