PART 2 · LESSON 19 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

The Summary for Anyone with One Minute

Omar hasn't read the proposal and has one minute between two clients, and Ana learns to say the essentials with a caveat. Say I have one minute tell me, our recommendation is a four-Wednesday trial run, ten chairs only during storytime, and how much does that cost, nothing for now the chairs are borrowed, the key caveat is that we still don't know if people will show up, and if they don't show up, we change or end it's in writing, and so I'm in favor.
