Book Naming Contest!
Blog readers and enthusiasts,
I am going to give a Kindle 2.0 to the winner of the following contest:
I’m publishing three books (three!) between now and the end of summer. One of these books is on how to be more effective using all of the tools out there for prospecting large accounts. It is the much-expanded version of my most recent e-book, How to Get Into Bigger Companies for Bigger Sales.
My publisher and I agree that this particular title stinks. Not only is it tepid, but if you’ve read the e-book, you know that there’s a lot more to it, including an entire how-to on using specific social media platforms for prospecting and “listening.” That said, I’m looking for a more provocative and accurate title that elicits the reaction: “I want to buy this book for every single person in my company!”
So, you have one week. If your suggested title is the one I choose for the book, you win the Kindle 2.0. I have one, and it is flippin’ phenomenal.
Post your entries as comments to this post and, who knows, a week from now I might have a new title and you might have a new Kindle 2.0!
All the best, Tom
“The Keys to the Castle: How to Get Into Bigger Companies for Big Sales” I’d buy that.
1I’m not good at titles, but hell, I’ll play along…

2Hmm…”Be My Friend: How the New Tools of the Trade Will Help You Land Big Sales” or “Follow Me: How the New Tools of the Trade Will Help You Land Big Sales.” Something that references the new social media element and how important it is when finding and landing sales. (This can also differentiate your book from other sales books out there.)
