Frank Uncovers Excellence in Leadership

Bestseller?

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

Here are some sobering statistics from Nielsen Bookscan, a company that in 2004 tracked the sales of 1.2 million books in the United States:

• Of those 1.2 million books, 950,000 sold fewer than 99 copies.
• Another 200,000 sold fewer than 1,000 copies.
• Only 25,000 books sold more than 5,000 copies.
• Fewer than 500 sold more than 100,000 copies.
• Only 10 books sold more than a million copies each.
• The average book in the United States sells about 500 copies.

With that in mind - when would you consider a book a bestseller?
