TOPICS INCLUDE:

3 Reasons Why CBE matters to modern book-selling:
• Readers are loyal to Authors, not publishers or bookstores.
• Relationship and emotion are the most powerful buying influencers.
• An opportunity awaits to bridge a stronger partnership between publisher and authors.
 
Primary Publisher Goals for CBE:
• Short-term: Help attendees have an “Experience”; Sell books
• Long-term: Help your authors get “Contact Info”; Build relationships
 
What do your authors need to succeed at CBE?
• Multiple exposure to the right type of reader
• Pass-on Tools
• Organized Schedule and Support System
 
What do your authors need before CBE?
• Support to get media interviews
• Support to reach their readers
• Support to provide free resources
 
Your Authors Must Bring their “A-Game”:
• Results must be produced (don’t just rely on ego and name).
• Provide takeaways for each attendee
• Maximize “face-time” with attendees
