   Highlight on your sales skills…
   Make the focus not on selling space, but building relationships.
   That’s the key…no one will get that distinction except an experienced person.

   Advertising also takes creativity and sense of what is good idea for an ad.

   Creativity, creativity, creativity.

   Ability to think broadly.

   Knowing public opinion– what draws people to buy certain products.

   Knowledge of psychology.

   Ability to face criticism & have your ideas rejectted — and then still produce the best ad campaign you have.

   Knowledge of your area — whether it’s local, state, or national.
   Knowledge of what businesses what and expect.

   Humor — people like a good ad that’s funny.

   Ability to think ahead of other people who might push the same ad idea you have.

   Not wasting businesses’ dollars - or time.

   I’m not in advertising, but these are things I’d consider connected to good advertising.

   A person who listen to clients. Trully listens. Taking that information, they form ideas which later developed come into solutions.
