Re: E-Watt Light Bulbs

For this season, all our team members are each expected to sell 3 bulbs, which I do not anticipate any trouble with if students are committed to being part of our team. I sold 17 within two days of trying. It's all in how you sell it. You need to pitch the idea that they save people money. The payback period on the initial investment is about a year, depending on use.

We did an all-team 45-minute training on the bulb and sales strategies.

There's no apparent discount to ordering more than one case at a time, so you can order as the need arises, so you aren't out a lot of money upfront.
