Here’s a piece I found through Library Stuff on selling yourself internally to your clients. It speaks specifically to law librarianship but I’m sure the same principles apply in any corporate environment. I feel very strongly that selling is one of those business skills that librarians are determined NOT to master – to our detriment. And so I’m happy to say that Tesse Santoro, who will be Chair of our Marketing Section in 2008, is giving a talk in Seattle on "Selling Yourself & Your Skills". Click on the link below, have a read and let me know – what do YOU think about selling? Are you good at it? Do you want to be?
