A simple, hello...how're you or good morning goes a long way!
It makes you seem more approachable and welcoming.
It also grabs the attention of passers and sometimes stops them in their tracks.

My bestfriend didn't have a single product on hand at my event yesterday and she still happened to gain some potential clients and orders!
Simply talking to customers and telling them a little about your business and what you sell works!

Even though we're in the digital age of ca$happ and PayPal, still keep cash on hand.ย
Almost every sale I made then, was a cash sale.ย
Make sure you have enough change on hand.
**Accept multiple forms of payment!
**Print out your ca$happ tag so people can pay you easily!
