Salesman Extraordinaire

Part of T-ball, apparently, is selling candy bars to pay for uniforms. They do give an option...just fork out $50 up front and forget the selling part. My thought is...if you're going to pay the $50, you might as well get the 50 candy bars that go with it. So, we got the candy bars! btw...I don't think that a t-shirt and a hat cost the $25 we probably make on the sell of the candy. Nevertheless, we are selling the candy.

I have a lot of experience selling things...having participated in all kinds of extra-curricular activities during my school years (Aaron will remember band booster candy bars :P)...and mostly that experience is that I don't really care to sell things...at all. What a great blessing it is to be married to THE BEST salesman at UPS. Jeron is a quick learner and obviously takes after his dad. The first principle of sales that his dad taught him is that it's best to use your network first. Jeron's network consists of all kinds of family, so he started making phone calls tonight. Here's his pitch:

"I'm on a t-ball team and we're selling candy bars to pay for our uniforms. So, there's Kit Kats, Reese's Pieces, Twizzlers, Peanut Butter Cups, and plain chocolate bars and with almonds. They cost one dollar each, so how many would you like? Okay, great. I'm sure you'll be pleased with these chocolates. They are very yummy. Thank you. You're welcome."

After three phone calls and 6 pitches to different family members, he's sold 110 candy bars. He has a few more calls to make, so we'll keep you updated on his sales.

You'll notice in the picture that he has a paper and pen and he's writing down the orders. He's very efficient. Thanks to all who have purchased candy bars! We really appreciate your support!
