The biggest area of media buyer complaints centered on sales reps’ wasting precious time with too many sales calls, unpreparedness and overselling. Granted, there are certainly a lot of clueless sales reps out there but we quite sure we’d bet sales reps would say there’s some pretty clueless media buyers out there too.
