Resli got her Daisy vest on and grabbed the order form and, after a little practicing, she was ready for human interaction.
She pretty fearlessly approached houses and rang doorbells, although tended to falter a little on the spiel, especially if someone interrupted the routine (by, say, asking "How are you?").
Thankfully, Lela was there with her pony Peppermint, and she kept Resli in good spirits.
In just a couple blocks, we sold 10 boxes of cookies to six people. (Apparently, many of you venture out into the world on Sunday afternoons...) Not bad for her first cold calls.
By the way, if you're interested in buying some cookies, we're taking orders through January 23rd. Cookies will be delivered later in February, and money ($4/box) is due at that time. We're always willing to help you get your fix of Samoas or Thin Mints!

Resli doesn't know that cold-calling is the most feared kind of selling there is. I hope nobody tells her, since she had an 83% closing rate yesterday.
How could anyone resist that sweet little face?? I wish I had known about the deadline... :)
