Not just in radio, but managers in all types of businesses have a tendency to avoid the hard conversations with their staff and put them off for weeks, months and even years.

Imagine one of your advertisers receiving an email from their sales rep asking them to use a new link to pay this month’s invoice. The name is right, the station logo is there, and the message sounds like someone they’ve worked with for years. Except your sales rep didn’t send it.
