For all but one of my recent books, I got on a plane to promote it at different organizations. For example, [here](https://www.philsimon.com/highlights-visual-organization-book-tour/) are some highlights from my dates supporting *The Visual Organization* in 2014\. In 2015, Smartsheet and Atlassian even [sponsored a leg of my tour for *Message Not Received*](https://www.philsimon.com/smartsheet-to-sponsor-first-leg-of-the-message-not-received-book-tour/). (I didn't tour behind *Analytics: The Agile Way* because of my summer teaching schedule.)

Now that I'm back to being independent, it's time to rev things up, even in the face of a global pandemic.

## Requirements

You'll need to purchase 50 or more copies of either *Slack For Dummies* or *Zoom For Dummies*. How you do that is up to you, but here are some options:

- If you want the print edition of the book, then I can work with Wiley to get you a discounted price. Shipping is up to you, though.
- You can [buy bulk Kindle editions](https://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=17381587011&ref=philsimon.com).
- If you have something else in mind, then you can mention that in the form below.

We'll work out a mutually convenient time. I’ll host a Zoom webinar and talk for 30 minutes about the book. I'll then field questions in an interactive AMA format à la Reddit for about 30 minutes. Note that the organization hosting the virtual event needs to make a webinar co-host available. I've done enough webinars in my life to know that trying to manage everything yourself in real time is a recipe for disaster. We'll also do a quick practice webinar.

Fill out the form below to get started. By the way, there can't be any [brown M&Ms](https://www.businessinsider.com/van-halen-brown-m-ms-contract-2016-9?ref=philsimon.com). What's more, under no circumstances will I open for puppet shows. They have go on before I do. It's a dealbreaker.
