Door to door sales


Tate has been wanting to have another lemonade stand all summer. Since we live in a culdesac we don't really get alot of traffic in front of our house so David, who loves to encourage the wonderful world of sales, told Tate to go door to door with cups of lemonade and see if anyone would buy them. He was scared to go by himself but David bored him with the story of how he was scared in his first sales job but enjoyed how he learned good people skills and reaped the benefits of a sale so Tate decided he could do it. He went to our neighbors house first with two cups of lemonade and came back with one cup and two quarters. He "forgot" to give them both cups because he was so focused on those shiny quarters in his hot little hand. We watched him then go to the little girl down the street's house. He rang the doorbell, sold the lemonade, and decided to stay and play with her a little while.....I guess he had earned a break.

Sounds like he has his father's sales ability. I'd buy one from such a cute kid.

Too cute! I can picture it!

What a cutie. The,"I have clean hands" sticker probably helped sales as well.

I like the serious face and the way he holds the goods up to the camera. I can see him doing infomercials in the future, Tate's Amazing Shamwow!

Tate is definitely not going to be scared of a challenge. What a big lesson to learn at such a young age. Way to go Tate.

I love that he's wearing his "Clean Hands" sticker. That should really help with consumer confidence. Cute picture!
