Dealing With The Tough Stuff

In this episode of Media Sales Mastery, Jamie tackles one of the most important—and least talked about—realities of working in media sales: dealing with the tough stuff.Instead of the usual interview format, Jamie answers five real, anonymous listener questions covering everything from managing underperforming team members, balancing work-life expectations in a high-pressure sales role, navigating defensive stakeholders, addressing toxic behaviour from top performers, and coaching emotionally high-maintenance high achievers.Packed with practical scripts, mindset shifts, and real-world examples, this episode is your tactical guide to handling the awkward, political, stressful, and uncomfortable moments that every media sales professional encounters—but few feel equipped to confront.If you’ve ever thought, “How do I deal with this without making it worse?”—this one’s for you.For exclusive content and a chance to pick the topic and guide the show, connect with Jamie on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Edited, Hosted and Produced by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joanne Helder⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
