Six Audio CD Pharmaceutical Sales Program

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Currently, my 5.5 hour audio program for How To Get A Dream Job In Pharmaceutical Sales – Direct Inside Advice and Guidance From a Sales Manager fits on a single CD since I use MP3 files.  Also included in that CD are two free ebook bonuses and the entire ebook version of this program as well.

I have the option to change this single CD program to a multi disc CD program using standard audio files instead of MP3s.  This way, people can play the audio in their cars and portable CD players.  Since MP3s are not supported by most car and portable systems, the current audio program must be played either in the computer or an iPod device.

If I move to the multi CD format, the audio program will go up in price a bit since there’s more cost involved in producing such a version.  But the demand for an actual CD has not been high yet since most people who want the audio version of my book have been happy to download the audio files rather than wait for a physical CD to be shipped to them.

Unless I hear otherwise, I will keep the MP3 CD as it is for now rather than make the move to a multi CD program.

If you have thoughts on this, please comment.

Considering Making Pharmaceutical Sales Careers Audio Multi CD

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Currently, my audio version of “How To Get A Dream Job In Pharmaceutical Sales – Direct Inside Advice and Guidance From A Sales Manager” is on a single CD with multiple MP3 files.  This CD works with all computers and most DVD players that support the MP3 format.  However, MP3 CDs typically do not work in most car audio players or stand alone CD players unless they are build to take MP3s as well as standard audio files.

I’m considering on making this pharmaceutical sales careers audio program into a multi CD set.  However, since the program is about 5.5 hours long, such a set would require up to six separate CDs in order to accommodate the entire audio content.  In order to be able to be played in car audio players, standard audio files rather than MP3s will have to be used and they take much more space on CDs than compressed MP3s.  A multi CD set will be more labor intensive to produce and this will be reflected in a slightly higher price for the program.

I’ll make a decision on whether to stay with the single MP3 CD or move into a multi CD set soon.  In the meantime, if you have any thoughts on this, please feel free to leave some comments.

Motivational Audio CD Book Package A Big Hit

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Clint Cora was keynote speaker at a Toronto business association dinner and he briefly mentioned the diversity today’s work environment.  The real surprise was how popular his new motivational audio CD and book was to attendees.  Clint had offered his book The Life Champion In You as a separate item or the book together with his new 2.75 hour audio CD as a package.  About 75% of buyers took the motivational audio CD and book package.  This might suggest that there is definitely a trend towards using listening in addition to just reading as the way to learn about concepts and principles.  His pharmaceutical sales audio program also sells well.
