HOW IT ALL BEGAN The story of the Chicken Soup book is as inspiring as the little stories that make it up. Jack Canfield and Mark Hansen, both popular motivational speakers, loved to spice up their performances with a couple of inspiring stories. After the trainings, many turned to them: “Where can you find that story about the girl scout? I would buy a book for her son «,» And that story about a guy and a puppy — can you read it somewhere? » Over the course of a year, Canfield and Hansen wrote down stories that they had experienced themselves or heard from acquaintances, and when there were 101 of them, they sent them out to publishers. They received 144 refusals. Then Jack and Mark decided to find buyers even before the publication of the book, in the hope of overpersuading the publishers. They told their acquaintances and trainings about it, and asked everyone who was interested to write a receipt for the purchase of a future book. With more than 20,000 such receipts, Jack and Mark turned to the publishers again. The book was printed, and everyone who made a promise bought it. And then … sales stopped. Jack and Mark didn’t want to give up. Their goal was to sell 1.5 million in 1.5 years. Then they came up with the «Rule of Five»: take five active steps every day to promote and sell the book. From that moment on, Canfield and Hansen sent out 5 copies every day to journalists, Hollywood stars, made 5 calls to heads of companies with a proposal to donate books to employees. As a result, after 1.5 years, 1.3 million copies were sold. The publisher asked for a sequel. Over time, the book, rejected by 144 publishers, became one of the most successful projects in the history of publishing.
