10. Create a proposal. Prepare a written description of your recommendation for using your book as the solution to their problems. Demonstrate how it will most cost-effectively reach your prospect's stated objectives.
11. Show how your book can be used in conjunction with other products to create or extend a theme. For example, if a company wanted to promote healthy living among its employees, it could combine a book about walking with a pedometer.
