August 21st, 2014 2 min read By [David Meerman Scott](https://www.davidmeermanscott.com/blog/author/david-meerman-scott) ![](https://www.davidmeermanscott.com/hs-fs/file-1604816122-jpg/blog-files/6a00d83451f23a69e201a73e05e5d1970d-320wi.jpg?width=320&height=394&name=6a00d83451f23a69e201a73e05e5d1970d-320wi.jpg) **I’m so excited I might pee in my pants!! (Don’t worry, I’ll be careful not to.)** [![1 NRSS 3D](https://www.davidmeermanscott.com/hs-fs/file-1604816122-jpg/blog-files/6a00d83451f23a69e201a73e05e5d1970d-320wi.jpg "1 NRSS 3D")](http://freshspot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451f23a69e201a73e05e5d1970d-popup)My new book, *The New Rules of Sales and Service: How to Use Agile Selling, Real-Time Customer Engagement, Big Data, Content, and Storytelling to Grow Your Business* is nearly ready to ship. *The New Rules of Sales and Service* is about how the buying process has radically changed and how people who understand that change can grow business now. Buyers are now in possession of unlimited information so online content is quickly becoming the dominant driver for commerce. Unfortunately most organizations are still using traditional selling and service models developed for a different time. **Release date** It’s looking like books will ship from USA online retailers and be stocked on shelves at physical bookstores on September 3, 2014. Outside the USA will take a bit longer. We’re aiming to have the electronic editions including Amazon Kindle and Apple iBook as well as the audiobook version from Audible available on the same day. (I read the audiobook version myself!) **Speaking and Webinar offer ** To launch *The New Rules of Sales and Service* by getting some books into the market upon release, I am offering a one-time special for organizations ordering multiple copies of the hardcover book. I’ve worked out substantial discounts from the $28.00 retail price for multiple copies from several USA retailers. If you buy 100 or more books, I’ll do a free webinar or similar virtual event for your employees or clients. I normally charge $5,000 for a virtual appearance. You’d need to buy the books by the September 5, 2014 and do the virtual event by the end of 2015. [Contact me for details. ](https://www.davidmeermanscott.com/contact-info/) If you book me by September 5, 2014 for a live speaking engagement at an event anytime in 2014 or 2015, I’ll provide up to $5,000 credit on my speaking fee for books that you purchase by September 5. (If you buy $5,000 in books, I knock off $5,000 of my speaking fee.)
