Sell It With Sizzle Five
Tips to Tasty Technology Programs
The founder of Ruth Chris Steakhouses created an empire from the
old saying, "I learned decades ago that to sell a steak you’ve got
to "sell the sizzle." Libraries have a lot of steak
and technology programs are the opportunity to sizzle. In short, librarians
are the front line salespeople for a fantastic product line.
Take time to make friends and influence people by selling ideas
while teaching resources. Focus on program planning, audience development,
mining failure and finding unique selling points to reach your community.
Walk away with at least one positive, beneficial technology programming idea
perfect for your library.
