Trick or Treat!

The concept of trick or treating is really something quite amazing if you think about it! Dress up, knock on a stranger's door, say some magic words, and get free candy! The more doors you knock on, the more candy you get!

I have to share this trick or treating story with you! A real estate agent was preparing her "pop-by" gifts for some of her "A" clients. She purchased a bunch of plastic pumpkins which she planned on filling up with candy to deliver to her clients a week prior to Halloween so that her clients wouldn't have the hassle of buying candy to give out to trick or treaters. Her 8 year old niece was over one day so she gave one of the empty plastic pumpkins to her and said "you can use this to go trick or treating with."

The niece was greatful and took the plastic pumpkin. About an hour later the niece returns and shows her aunt all the candy she had just collected from around the neighborhood. The agent asked, "Where did you get all this candy?" The niece simply replied, "From the neighborhood. You told me to go trick-or-treating with it!" The agent couldn't believe it! It was only middle of September!

What's the point of the story? There's lots of candy out there! Regardless of the market, if we simply ask enough people for business, we'll have pumpkins full of candy!
