It's the Little Things...

Debra Templar-Group - Wednesday, February 03, 2010

Have you ever been to a seminar and thought "I wonder if this REALLY works?"

I received this today:

Dear Debra
I attended two of your sessions at the trade fair (Reeds Gift Fair in Melbourne) on Monday. Thanks for such great information! 
Yesterday I did not make a single sale until 2.20pm (mind you, I opened at 12 noon) when a new customer bustled in, gathered up 12 items (some of the most expensive in the shop).  She did not try on anything at all.  It was then when I held up a Prada jacket and said, “have you seen this” (thanks to you!) and she bought it.  She spent $2,318.00.  I almost fainted.  That is a lot for me because I sell recycled items!  That was my “one and only” (but fabulous) sale for the day. 

Cheers and thanks,pink umbrella

And the reason she didn't open until noon?  She was out buying   this gorgeous pink umbrella... what a great impact!

And now, we're going to get Loretta started on a blog and twitter!
