This Is What Makes Us Different
The easiest thing for us to do is share what makes RPC different in our approach for helping local broadcasters. We focus on four (4) very specific gifts.
1. Encouragement – We are encouragers. The people in your business determine the trajectory of your culture, your productivity and your revenue growth. This isn’t the pie-in-the-sky encouragement. We are talking about casting of a vision and developing support around you and your entire team of individuals pulling your local radio brand(s) up, with the strategy and principles we discuss together and put into play for your local radio brand(s) so you experience higher ratings and incremental revenue increases.
2. Strategy – We see everything through strategy and planning. The battle is often won before the first shot is fired. Most critical is how a thing is built. We have an unusual ability to see what will work for your local brand(s) and to advise on proper strategy to help propel you and your team to higher success.
3. Behavior – We have studied human behavior, motivation and human weakness across the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s. This impacts your sales every single day and your on-air every single hour. It is a fascination that helps our clients in a variety of critical ways and gives them an unfair advantage in their local radio market daily.
4. The Powerful Creation Of Momentum - Momentum doesn't just show up; we know this from sports, but it might be even more powerful in business. This includes use of assertiveness, proper timing and use of aggression when it is called for in your market. Most of the radio you hear now across many markets is homogeneous; we recommend you don't stay there with your local brands.
It's no secret that you don't have to have a "consultant." But what we offer you isn't about that. Our focus is helping our clients expand their revenue and profit - not their budgets. We are for clients who want to focus on going UP. These four gifts result in continuous advantages for our clients. We are not like old school consultants. It's amazing how these four (4) gifts of ours show up again and again with our clients to support their local teams and create unexpected opportunities that very often turn into more cash for them again and again.
We Don't "Tell" Our Clients What To Do - We Help Companies Find Their Momentum
We are servants of our clients and focused on improving their revenue and the very real value of their business. We know what we do often surprises clients in the beginning days of our relationship. If you need someone who will roll up their sleeves and help you get “it” done while bringing the value of your local radio brands back affordably, call us. 864.448.4169.
You don't ever have to call us. The choice is what separates the winners from the losers.

It's natural. Things change and shift across time. Brands can lose their luster. They can fall back. They can lose a step. Without some outside advice, all you end up with is a version of what got you here. If you are ready to energize your efforts, encourage your team and light a path to higher revenue, call RPC: 864.448.4169

Sales going down? That's no fun. An external advisor can help support you with your team. We can help your team turn their revenue engines back on.

If you ask yourself what makes your local radio brands special and really unique to your community and that isn't on the tip of your tongue, something is wrong.
We help broadcasters find exactly what is special about individual pieces of their cluster strategy. We help them reposition their assets and move the revenue needle. 864.448.4169
Millions of dollars every year is spent on business, challenges and why people don't move to fix problems when it becomes obvious there are problems. It usually comes down to this: If you are not uncomfortable enough or don't believe it is possible to transform your revenue, you are more likely to "stay the course." Misery loves company.
By the way, when your revenue starts to go up, you'll be glad you called.
When you are ready to grow, you are more comfortable innovating. If that's you, call us. 864.448.4169.
We help clients address both the programming and the sales side of their business. Why? Because programming without more profit just isn't as fun. People get caught up in the words. The truth is: Are you undeniable now? Call and see why we are different and how that can give you new advantages that power revenue growth. 864.448.4169.
Maybe it's time for you. Having an external advisor who always thinks about your problems and feeds you strategic options, ideas and opportunities to win bigger regularly doesn't just make you look smart. It is smart. 864.448.4169.
On music stations music is 70% of your product, yet music drifts off course on individual radio brands. It has to be right and RPC provides clients will full music library reviews in spring and fall and recurrent class reviews four times per year. Everything begins with our Music Lab™. In addition, we provide timely current music updates and additional resources to keep you on track for the best ratings. With our services, we can also provide fully produced daily music logs for you and your team if you need.
When listeners can't turn your station brand off, it changes more than ratings - it changes revenue.
When is the last time you felt your stations were powerfully focused musically?
When is the last time your sellers talked to you about how good the music is on your leading brand?
Everyone won't have the same standards - I promise we don't. We help clients elevate and that is money.

RPC strongly believes in working with morning shows to bring out what is best about their talent and elevate their opportunity for growing fame in your market. We do this by teaching Familiar Surprise™. RPC does this with our Morning Show Fame Development™ Coaching and it changes things. We work with talent on their presentation on air, the development of what we call the Rotating Content Clock™, how their brand is presented (with our Branding Candy™) and what they can do to build fame outside of their on-air.
How does this impact you?
Listeners notice.
Activations explode!
Advertisers want in on the action.
We help you grow special morning show relationships with endorsement sponsors.
And growth occurs.

Think about what has changed.
Marketing isn't done the way it used to be done and much of that wouldn't work like it used to back then.
Think about it: Your listeners have changed.
Your clients have changed.
Maybe a little change for you would be fun.
At RPC, we provide resource opportunities for external marketing and database approaches to lift your brand value.
Marketing doesn't always mean just spending money either. We are into creative strategies that move the needle and we have the experience.
There are smart things you can do to get attention today and get ahead. That's where we focus at RPC for our clients.

When you see revenue drop month to month, it is time to shake things up and take some action to reenergize your team from the ground up.
We see it too much. Local radio just comfortable enough to be exactly like that lobster in a pot of warm water.
Our advice? Don't get too comfortable; get help.
Maybe it is individual sales coaching.
Maybe you need to revolutionize how you recruit. When revenue goes down, better act quickly rather than simply "letting things go."

RPC knows that sometimes time just marches on. People get used to things being a certain way and sometimes that is excellent, but when it isn't....it's bad.
When is the last time your station or stations received a "facelift?" Things gotten stale?
Energy means a lot. Listeners and advertisers can feel it.
Momentum means more. That moves REVENUE.
We can help you with both.
