I decided to put money into Awakening Spirit by advertising and attending shows. So far I only attended one show in Dallas. It was a bust in my opinion but not really. I did get a couple of orders from the show. I met a distributor who has access to 7,000 pharmacies. He told me he could sell the therapeutic oils to his customers. I told him he was crazy. He convinced me otherwise. I signed with him. That should start moving in July.
I started advertising in Souvenirs, Gifts and Novelties. The sales rep had to twist my arm! I told her I was not gifts and they don’t look at me.
I decided to trust the sale rep for SGN and to my utter amazement, I have been receiving requests for more information and being told they are very interested in carrying my product. Most of the stores are scanning the market for the holiday season and start buying in September. I could, again, be very busy in September. I can’t tell you how surprised I am. I have tried since 1995 to get people interested in what I do and now – again – 20 years ahead of the world – it may just happen. The world has finally caught up to me.
