Transcript<\/h3>\n

Scott Ingram: You\u2019re listening to the Daily Sales Tips Podcast and I\u2019m your host, Scott Ingram. When I got my official start in sales as a Major Accounts District Manager at ADP, I was hungry and pretty close to poor with a very young family at home. In fact, my second daughter was born during my tenure in the role, and podcasts weren\u2019t really a thing back then and to feed my hunger for knowledge I leveraged the heck out of my local library because it was infinitely cheaper than Amazon or the book store.<\/p>\n

Now, I think we forget about how valuable a resource the library still is. Besides, you\u2019re paying for it with your tax dollars, so you may as well take advantage of them.
\nBeyond the physical books in your local library, typically you can also get access to tons of eBooks and audio books through services like Overdrive that are often available for free with your library card. You may want to check out what other virtual library type resources are available to you.<\/p>\n

Another trick I\u2019ve recently discovered is the ability to suggest the Title. There\u2019s probably a link on your library’s website where you can literally ask them to buy a copy of a book for their collection. So if they don\u2019t already have that book you\u2019ve been dying to read, just ask for it. Selfishly I hope you\u2019ll ask them to purchase a copy of Sales Success Stories<\/a>, which is now available in audio form on CDs. We did that specifically for libraries, but of course this tip works for any book you\u2019re interested in.<\/p>\n

For today\u2019s discussion, I\u2019d love to know when you last visited your own library, and if you actively leverage this amazing community resource. Leave a\u00a0comment at DailySales.Tips\/40<\/a> and on that page I\u2019ll include the ISBN numbers for Sales Success Stories<\/a>. Just in case you want to suggest that book to your own local library.<\/p>\n

The come back tomorrow for another great sales tip. Thanks for listening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
