Usually it’s pretty easy, I reach out, ask how their day or week is going and if they mention kids I ask how the family is doing. We talk about random things for a bit, then we start going into the latest projects the library is working on and how I could use their help. The usually response is, I never thought a Library would need that, and we schedule the next set of meetings to talk with their internal experts.
lol you need to make friends with the sales people. They’ll respond quickly
