An observation about selling. Successful sales happen when people BUY as opposed to when someone SELLS. A good salesperson creates in the buyer a desire to buy, that is the motive force. You have had some good ideas from others on this group. Takes the best of each suggestion, and blend it into your next steps. Simon

However, I promoted triangulation too much and people are unaware that I give measurements in the Cartesian coordinate system as well. This is confusing. I may drop triangulation all together. I'm slow to take this out because I cannot edit my movie. My movie software no longer works. Perhaps I will drop the movie altogether. > > >I promoted the learning outcomes aspect of my sundial. Perhaps I shouldn't. Schools can quickly say, “We don't have time for any other activities” and therefore they look no further. It doesn't even occur to them that the sundial enhances any playground. It does not have to become a learning activity or be constructed by the children. What is your opinion? > > >I don't have photos of children on my website. I don't have any because I haven't sold any. I tried to give some sundials away but can't. I'm a terrible salesman and sound more like a telemarketer. > >Cheers >Donald Christensen >0423 102 090 >www.sundialsforlearning.com > > > > > >--------------------------------------------------- >https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial > > > >
