You May End Up Naked!

At our recent retreat, Suzi told how she sold her CLAUD!A JEAN necklace, at a customer's insistence, off her own neck. Lorraine took the story to heart and has reported one of her own!

While checking in at the Portland International Airport, the lady behind Lorraine commented on her necklace and said she'd love to have one. Lorraine responded that she could actually sell her the one she was wearing because she had another at home. The transaction was completed before they reached the ticket counter. It gets better! The lady is a buyer for Nordstrom!

There's more! As Lorraine stood on the gangway to board the plane, the lady behind her commented on her "window bag" of jewelry and then had to have one of the watches. Lorraine told her the price and they proceeded to their respective seats. The flight attendant brought Lorraine the check before the plane pulled away from the gate!

Michele has had similar stories and worries that she will sell the last of an item and end up without one of her own! It could happen as merchandise is selling out daily and being replace with new product.

We suggest that every time you wear an accessory that gets you noticed (the whole point!), carry one in your purse so when someone comments you can pull it out and say, "I just happen to have one available..." That's the beauty of cash and carry!

Feel free to add your story!
