Jill Burke, MLIS Community College of Baltimore County STOP Marketing your Library’s Instruction Program MILEX Meeting 4/21/17 Jill Burke, MLIS Community College of Baltimore County

Start selling your Instruction Program!!! We need to stop looking at marketing our services and programs and start selling them! Personal selling without the pressure to buy anything. Sell your services and your expertise Sell yourself! (Introvert v. Extrovert) Personal Selling according to Finley (2013)

Prospecting: Cold Calling What is a “cold call”? How can we apply it to our Instruction Program? Visit the offices of people you don’t know. Take a flyer or business cards with your contact info on it Visit the faculty members you know “Approaching faculty with confidence is an essential personal selling tool.” (Finley 2013)

Cold Calling (2) Send personal emails to the faculty you worked with in the past Every time you meet a new faculty member, ask if they give a research paper Send a notice, with a link, to the department chair when you create or modify a LibGuide If you get a large number of students at the ref desk asking for help, send the faculty member an email suggesting a class

Prospecting: Referrals Suggest to someone who just loved the class you gave, that they may want to tell their colleagues Ask a faculty member you know to introduce you to one you don’t know

Preapproach: Information Gathering Gathering information about the prospect before the meeting Can you access the course syllabus before the meeting? Do some research to find what the faculty has published Sell your research services as well as your class (Finley, 2013)

Approach: Schmoozing Building rapport with people by going to the party Go to lots of campus events and talk to everyone there Easier to do if you have faculty status Faculty status helps us to establish collegiality and we can collaborate with others Recognizes that we are fellow teachers and scholars Get on committees that write CCOs, or common graded assignments, etc. Get IL in the objectives

Presentations Present with faculty members at college wide learning events New faculty orientations Develop a “personal information literacy elevator speech” (Noe 2013) Adjunct meetings Departmental meetings – show new databases, LibGuides, resources (you!)

Upselling “Would you like a Meal Deal for 2 dollars more?” “It would be easier for the students if we added a second class so we can cover everything.” “I can make a LibGuide to go along with the class”

Cross-Selling If faculty contact you because they are having problems using a product, let them know students may be having the same problem

Dealing with Objections What are the objections that we hear all the time? If they can’t bring the class to the library, try to embed in their class

Closing and Follow Up Send an email thanking them for letting you teach their class Ask what they think went well and what they think didn’t work for their class

How do I know this works? Essex campus statistics for instruction: Academic Year: 13-14 14-15 Classes given: 183 235
