Over the past couple of years I have written two books. One book is on public speaking and the second
about my experience on a road trip visiting hockey towns during a Canadian winter. For reference the books are available here amazon.com/author/jimkokocki
I’m delighted that I’ve produced these books, but I don’t
enjoy marketing and selling the books. This is ironic as I spent much of my
career in marketing and sales, primarily to large business customers.
Nonetheless, this weekend while visiting family in Sydney,
Nova Scotia I dropped into the local shop for the national Chapters Indigo to
see if they’d stock some copies. The
manager wasn’t present but I emailed her and she is taking the books on
consignment.
I was in the mall.
Visited the store. Sent an email.
Now will receive (relatively) passive
income.
The lesson is ask for the sale.
