Back on topic (sorry folks), I've come to the conclusion that I don't do sales patter. I do however get a bit manically enthusiastic about what I make and sell, and that seems to be sufficient at the moment. Also working out whatr the customer wants and whether that's what I'm offering (or not). A 'thought shower' ? Behemoth, you're taking the p***

Oh dear, I worry I stray from enthusiasm into a state of over excitement and frighten some of them....

Sadly not. In a previous life I worked in a university and actually had a email memo about the terminology.

I told you, you're not using the right kind of water, you need specially imported Surrey water, known as Fee-Grow

Fair enough. I'll send you all my bank account details and you can take whatever you need.
