Selling Local Advertising Is Free From March 18-22

34 replies
Guys; From March 18-22nd, Selling Local Advertising is a free book on Amazon.com. I thought, if you hadn't grabbed a copy, now would be a great time.

If you want to know how I sell local online services...this is the book for that.

You don't need Kindle, you can download it to your PC.

After March 22, the Kindle price goes back up to $8.99.

And then...it will not be free. And I won't be able to offer it again (for free) for 90 days.

Enjoy, Claude

    Thank you Claude Whitacre, great stuff.

    The book, for me, was a little hard to read with the double columns, you might want to test this version with a one page layout and I would love to see a TOC there too. Once I read it, I wanted to go back to certain areas and a Table of Contents would be helpful.

    But, layout aside, the Content is Great, one can tell you are a sales PRO, and your experience shines through every page. I loved the section on Contracts and Referrals and your take on Cold Calling "sets the record straight" in my opinion.

    You have taught this old sales dog a new trick or two and again, I thank you for your generous gift of tested and proven knowledge.

    PS. Your experience is greatly appreciated here at WF, hope you are told that often.

      Thank you. My copy has a single column layout with a table of contents. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks.

      Added later; You may have downloaded to edition I had in the War Room. The Kindle edition from Amazon should have a table of contents and be single column. Please let me know if it isn't. Thanks, Claude

            Yeah it had value at the full under $10 price. But if he wants to give me more books for free I won't stop him

      Thank you so much Guys. Could you do me a great favor and post a review on Amazon.com?

      Anyone who leaves a review on Amazon gets a review copy of my next book free.

      My next book One Call Closing is almost complete. I ended up having to split the book. I had over 300 pages. I'm editing now to see the best way to package this. I may use part for the book (the parts that fit the best) and the whole thing as a manual.

      Misterme and a few others had such good material here on this Forum, that I asked if I could include a few passages. I think you'll get a lot out of it.

      Aaron; The Kindle version of The Unfair Advantage Small Business Advertising Manual is out now. It will be free in Kindle next week. Local Online Marketing will be free the week after that.

      Thanks for the great review too. Claude

      I will, but only because you asked. Normally I shy away from anything that looks promotional. But you insisted.........and I'm sticking to that story.

        You have to save Kindle or PC. You can get it right from the Amazon sales page (for the book).

        Then create an icon on your desktop, so you can find your Kindle books right away. I hope this helps.

    Just finished the book... I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the great share.

    I'm curious, have you ever read Harvey Mackay? Very similar style to yours, lots of anecdotal stories with lessons hidden inside.

    I had made up my mind that I would be buying the next one, but then I found this thread! You really should spread out the free giveaways a bit more, I'd bet you would see more in sales.

    Hey Claude,

    What an awesome generous offer you are giving away here.

    This is definitely a must read for any new or experienced reps, there's a marked absence of fluff and all of it just flows nicely together, tying idea to idea in a way that's entertaining and very easy to read. Loved your section on referrals, if you can get that down as a salesperson you shouldn't need to prospect ever again!

    Thanks again, Claude

    I was going to leave a review as thanks.. but apparently you can't because it's a free download? Anyway, great stuff!

      As long as you have an Amazon account and one purchase (at any time in the past) you can leave a review.

      Guys; Thanks so much for downloading and reading the book.

      And now, I have to say this...

      This book is no longer free. I just checked. Again, thanks Guys.

        Yeah.... I got it FREE but it's "lost" somewhere between Amazon and my Nexus 10. Who the hell knows.... I know I can probably get it back from my Amazon account.

        Thankfully I've already read it TWICE and all I gotta say is FREE is good but e en at 11 bucks or whatever, it's still a no brainer'
