Sales is not my thing.

I couldn't sell a salmon to a grizzly bear. 🐟

What I do know is how to tell a story.

Beginning, middle, and end.

You want to capture someone's attention, and teach them how you help students learn?

That I can do.

Sorry, bear. You will have to catch your own salmon. 🐻

"Why don't you wear a suit?"

🤨

A butterfly does not need to respond to a caterpillar's question. 🦋

Because the caterpillar cannot comprehend butterfly problems.

And because the caterpillar is irrelevant. 🐛

What is your butterfly problem that a caterpillar could not begin to understand?
