Age of Conversation: Launched Today!
Posted by Becky Carroll on July 16, 2007
What book has 103 marketing bloggers representing 10 countries and four continents and where 100% of the proceeds support Variety Children’s Charity?
The newly released book The Age of Conversation!
Back in April, two really smart bloggers, Drew McLellan and Gavin Heaton (themselves representing two countries and continents), set a goal of publishing a book with contributions from 100 bloggers. Topic: the conversation age. Each author wrote a one-page chapter for the book, interpreting the topic from their own point of view. For example, my chapter is titled Conversations and the Customer Experience.
The format of the book provides for a quick read with lots of great food for thought on conversations in this age of new media. The book is being released in three formats, so you can choose how you want to read it!
Hardcover: $29.99
Paperback: $16.99
e-Book: $9.99
Again, all proceeds are going to charity. No author is going to earn any money from this book.
I highly encourage you to buy a copy of the book today, and spread the word on your blog, in your newsletter, and through your own conversations. Be sure and come back here and leave your thoughts on the book!

Update: more press!

Becky,
I bought two paperbacks: One for me and one as part of a gift package for my professional association, IMCNE.
Becky Carroll said
I just bought the hardcover edition, as I think it will be a nice discussion item! 😉
Cord Silverstein said
Becky,
I wanted to drop you a line to compliment your article in the Age of Conversation book. I thought it was very well written and I could not agree more with your thoughts and ideas. The age of conversation and customer experience must go hand in hand. Just wanted to pass along my compliments.
Becky Carroll said
Thanks, Cord; I am flattered!
The only way we can learn about our customers enough to meet their needs is to engage them in conversation everywhere they “touch” our company.
I look forward to more conversation on the book as it gets out there. Thanks again; you rock!
Tim Jackson said
I’m so thrilled this project is finally seeing the light of day! I can’t wait to hear more about what people think… as well as read my copy! It’s very, very exciting.
Meikah Delid said
Congratulations, Becky, and the whole team involved in this book! Becky, you seem to be doing one good deed after another. Keep at it! I should check the book out. I know already it’s one good read! 🙂
Becky Carroll said
Tim, I am glad to see it out as well. It will be fun to engage in the conversation about the conversation!
I am looking forward to reading your contribution.
Becky Carroll said
Meikah, thanks so much. It was a lot of hard work on the part of many – all I did was write a chapter! 😉
Let me know what you think, right here, once you give it a read!
