OK, I NEED YOUR HELP! Today is my first day selling our products at the kiosk inside Cottonwood Mall. I typically do not struggle to speak and interact with people. I've been told I can sell snow to an Eskimo.

So far, it is nothing like selling at the grower's market, a pop-up or any other local venue. What I’ve experienced is people do not want to look at you or make eye contact. You can tell them, “Here is a free bar of soap.” and they do not want it. Or they are on a mission to go where they are going.

If you’ve sold at the mall and know the struggle is real. Please share what you have done to get people’s attention. Or maybe you haven’t but still have some encouraging words. All kind and encouraging words are welcome. Thanks!

This is powerful for me

A lady asks: "How much do you sell your eggs for?"

The old vendor replies "50¢ an egg, madam.” The lady says, “I'll take 6 eggs for $2.50 or I'm leaving.”

The old salesman replies “Buy them at the price you want, Madam. This is a good start for me because I haven't sold a single egg today and I need this to live.”

She bought her eggs at a bargain price and left with the feeling that she had won.

She got into her fancy car and went to a fancy restaurant with her friend. She and her friend ordered what they wanted. They ate a little and left a lot of what they had asked for.

They paid the bill, which was $150. The ladies gave $200 and told the fancy restaurant owner to keep the change as a tip...

This story might seem quite normal to the owner of the fancy restaurant, but very unfair to the egg seller...

The question it raises is:

I once read this somewhere ,that a father used to buy goods from poor people at high prices, even though he didn't need the things. Sometimes he paid more for them.

I was amazed. One day his son asked him "Why are you doing this Dad?" His father replied: "It's charity wrapped in dignity, son."

I want to challenge each one of us to do better. We can do that.
