Seems like there’s a product for everything these days. There are products to give you energy, products to calm you down, products to help you read better or write better….anything you can imagine! My favorite new product is a pen that doubles as a voice recorder and also translates what you write into a Word document. How handy! I use it for note-taking, working, and I even dream of writing a book with it!

However, whenever I hear the word “product” I think of my hairdresser. Every time I get my hair cut, he’ll say to me afterward, “Now don’t think that just because I gave you a fabulous cut, you don’t have to use the right products. Let me show you this new one.” And you know what? It usually works; he’s right, and I’ve got to try it every time. We can all learn something from our hairdressers about up-selling; we go in for a haircut and leave with a bagful of products we didn’t plan on buying!
