• TIP #1:  Sell Materials Relevant to Your Workshop or Event — There are dozens of NVC educational materials and products available from CNVC and PuddleDancer Press.

• TIP #3:  Bundle NVC Materials into Packages — Feedback we’ve received from NVC trainers and teams confirms that when you bundle relevant products together into a package, participants are more likely to see their connection, and are more likely to buy the products together. We suggest also offering packages of books at 10% off the list price for an added incentive.  GO NOW to find a complete list of possible product package bundles >

LIST OF SUGGESTED PRODUCT PACKAGES
From the NVC Starter Kit, to the NVC Extraordinary Relationships Package, find out what bundles sell best.

• TIP #4:  Distribute the PuddleDancer Product Catalog at the Workshop — (CNVC does not currently have a product catalog available) If you are ordering your products from CNVC, ask for additional copies of the PuddleDancer Catalog be included in your order so you can distribute them at your workshop. The catalog offers a complete list and description of 19 well-known NVC books and booklets, as well as key information about Nonviolent Communication, Marshall Rosenberg, and CNVC, making it a valuable take-away item for training participants. REMEMBER, PuddleDancer Press pays royalties to CNVC and its authors for every book sold.
