DON’T QUESTION. “When I sit down with somebody and
they walk away with a kit, I don’t ever question when they say they

PAY ATTENTION TO COMMENTS. “If somebody
makes comments like, ‘I know my mom would love this,’ then I say,
‘Could you see yourself wanting to do this business because you
know so many p eople that could benefit?’ If so, then I try to talk
them into a bigger kit. I’ve had people have buyer’s remorse when
they got a smaller kit and end up doing a business. Always try to
bump them up to the next kit, but don’t push. If they’re set on a
small kit, let them go.”
