Peter Out

Masthead is finally paying lip service to our profession. First they publish a round-table discussion with three of our kind and then they launch an Ad Sales Coach blog by Peter Ebner (right).

Well I like the attention but who is Peter Ebner? Where has he worked? His first entry appears here and I hope the second one is a lot better. Cuz this sucked.

He has a mythical woman named Peter calling people trying to give away carpeting for free but she can't get past the receptionist. Receptionist?! In what year was this written? 1984?

And he makes ad sales sound like a terrible career choice, hardly the wildly fun job we all know and love.


P.S. Could Reptile be back?
