huntsman....one does not have to know an awful lot about heirlooms in order
to know more than 95% of your customers. The customer loves the feeling
of having gained knowledge besides nice seedlings.
Also, I try to keep the customer engaged in conversation until the next car
pulls over. One customer seems to be a magnet for others. When I was in
the pizza business, on slow week nights, I would ask a couple employees to
park out front so we looked somewhat busy. It had a similar and good
psychological effect.
Of course, if you still don't feel confident, you could ask Carolyn Male to come
down there and work your booth with you!! LOL
