Ad Sales Genius Magazine FAQ

Is Ad Sales Genius a CRM for magazines?

Yes—Ad Sales Genius is a purpose-built CRM for magazine publishing and media companies. However, our software goes a step beyond many publishing CRMs by allowing you to sell, package, and bill for print, digital, programmatic, expos, and sponsorships—all in one platform.

Why should I switch to a new magazine software platform?

There are three main reasons why magazine businesses should consider switching to Ad Sales Genius:
 
  1. Automation. Ad Sales Genius allows you to automate your team’s routine tasks to cut out repetitive work across sales, production, and accounting. In short, you can focus on the most rewarding parts of your business—both creatively and financially.
  2. Cost Savings. Ad Sales Genius supports entire magazine teams, from ad traffic managers to accounts receivable reps. Combined with our industry-leading software integrations, you’ll be able to get more work done in less time. This allows you to be strategic with hiring needs and business expenses.
  3. Future-Proof Your Business. We hear it often: “Our current software wasn’t built to sell ___.” Ad Sales Genius is designed for publishing and media—but we didn’t let that stop us from thinking big. Our software is built to work with thousands of different types of advertising and billing strategies. Simply put, this is the last piece of ad sales and production software your team will ever need.
