Welcome to Lesson 1 for How to Sell More Books from a Table!

I’m Sarah Hickner, your course instructor. I decided to make lesson 1 free so people can check out the course and see if it’s for them. This course is currently in beta. If you’re interested in joining, you’ll need to contact me through the contact form.

Here’s a little video so we can get to know each other:

Here we go!!!

In Lesson 1, I talk about making connections. This is the most important lesson of the entire course, and the most simple! Everything I teach from here will be all about helping you confidently make connections.

I also break down what to expect in the course, and finish with homework. Let’s get started.

Making the Connection

I’ll say it one more time. This is truly the most important part of selling at a table. Most of the things I’ll teach in this course will be methods for connecting with people – ways to draw them to your table, things for them to take home so they remember you, and even ways to stay in touch long after you met.

But for today, let’s just practice connecting with strangers.

Homework:

Make it a point to connect with 5 strangers. Go to a store, walk around town, get wherever you need to be to see people you don’t know. Then CONNECT. Smile. Give a compliment. Ask a question.

Try all 3 things on different people.

While you’re on this outing, remember to treat everyone like they have a sign around their neck that says, “Make me feel important.”

Then tell us about it in the comments. Was it scary? Fun? Is this your normal way of doing things or did you find yourself stretching your comfort zone? And what was your favorite reaction or connection?
