My Offer to Book Resellers

11 November 2014

Posted in Workout tags book

There are two good things about people complaining about the shipping fees of my book:

It shows that readers care. They want the book! Even the 15,000 people who already downloaded the free PDF. Within just two days, I sold 200 copies of the #Workout book from the Management 3.0 web shop. Imagine how much more people we can reach when we slash distribution costs?
Already several people asked me if they can resell the book locally, which will cut shipping fees dramatically. The answer is: Yes, please! The less I have to do, the better. My goal is to be a writer, not a distributor.

Resell My Book

So, here’s the deal:

I charge EUR 150 for each box of 10 books, excluding tax and excluding shipping. That’s only 15 euros per #Workout book! You can resell the books at the suggested retail fee of EUR 30, or at any other price level you prefer. (The book is almost 500 pages in high-quality and full-color. 30 euros is still a fine price!)

My offer only applies to these businesses:

Local book stores and web shops
Organizers of events where I speak
Licensed Management 3.0 facilitators
Local Happy Melly legal entities

When you publicly announce the availability of the Regular Print Edition, I will happily direct readers to your website. You may also offer the print book on Amazon or any other global marketplace.

Note: You are even allowed to give the book away for free, to your customers, attendees, employees, or volunteers. (This will mainly apply to event organizers and workshop facilitators.)
