This may be more of a financial risk than  you would want to take, but I'm
stocking up on the SSS and SSS bug and sun stuff to sell at a booth at the
local little league park on opening day and during tournaments. Have already
received permission to do this as a fundraiser (25% of sales goes to my son's
ball team). I will only sell at one tournament before my money is due for the
stock up, so I'm hoping to at least sell enough in that first weekend to cover
my expenses. Like I said....it is going out on a limb a little bit so keep
your fingers crossed for me!

Here is an intro letter, I put one letter with two books in a what's new bag.
They are 60 cents for a pack of 50.  I went to 30 places and asked if I could
leave books for the employees.  No one said no!  In fact I got 8 new
customers.  I also leave books in waiting rooms and where ever else.  Since I
have PC Avon and I can back order I ordered about 170 books in camp 4, 5, and
6.  During camp 7 I am going to leave them everywhere!  I want to make PC but
I am about 3,000 off so I don't think I will make it this year.  This is my
last chance!

Tonya's Tips: This list is called a "tickler list". When a new rep or helper is getting started have them make up a list with names and phone #'s and address if possible and ask them about the responses they got from particular people, it will help them develop good prospecting habits.
