► If you have questions on your review, please ask me or the person who you question. We could be wrong. If you want to know more about next quarter’s goals, definitely ask. Don’t lose money next quarter because you did not understand, or we asked too much of you.
► The bags of Enhanced Shock by Spaguard are now 1/2 price. That makes them a better deal than the 2 lb. bottles.
► We now have printed directions for using an ice pillow. They are kept on the front of the ice pillow box and at register one. Try to give them to everyone buying one. It will make them stop blaming you because you gave them a defective pillow that didn’t last if because they didn’t know how they are supposed to work. And, maybe someone will buy a Pool Pillow Pal.
► You remember Thomas Edison noting that “Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration,” I just heard an artist noting also, that “it’s 99% oyster and 1% pearl.”
