How To Sell 200 Copies Of Your Book In One Hour
Last week I sold 200 copies of my book to 20 people. They were members of the Rotary club and the expected turnout for the event was poor due to poor weather. The organizer who invites guest speakers was so distressed because they expected at least 70 members to show up. I did my best to assured him it didn’t matter.
I had of course, agreed to speak with the hope of generating sales so I had to think fast and came up with this plan to maximize my sales for the day. 20 people walked out of the room with 10 books each because I asked them to. Its so simple, just ask, all they can say is no.
