Joj, I see your chocolate bars are here of the fundraiser... I'll sell out in notice with my hug family! yes! Marcy: Son...dont rely on the family this year. Show your dada and me what a good salesman you can be! I should have used permanent ink on my sales sheet.
When I was in junior high (what they called it back then), one year we had to sell at least one magazine to get an “A” in phys ed. I was a lousy salesperson, and it wound up with my parents buying the absolutely cheapest magazine on the list. It was Pathfinder, “second largest news magazine in 1950s.” After the subscription ran out, the magazine kept sending us issues, month after month, hoping that we’d renew. I had my “A” in p. e., and we didn’t renew.
