Day 26 Recommend Emergency Supplies

---

Today’s Task:  Become familiar with the Emergency supplies.  Recommend one from each category       

---

Would it shock you to know that emergency supplies are a big seller? 

I think that most Shelf Reliance consultants focus on the food.  Why because everyone likes it and it is easy to present.  But emergency supplies can be big sellers for you. 

At each party I present on emergency supplies for about 10 minutes.  I really just say something like.

“I know you all came to try the food but preparing for an emergency is important so I want to spend a few minutes talking about it” and then I hold up the item and tell them why I like it.

If you put a sticker on the back of each item with the ID number and price it will save you a lot of time.

Today’s Worksheet:

You can watch me here:  (Would you pretend that I look fabulous in this video? Thanks) 

This video is of my entire party presentation and this was kind of a crazy party.   But what party isn’t?  The host asked me to bring some specific emergency items so it is a little different from my usual presentation but you can see what I do and what I say.  

You can stop watching after I talk about emergency supplies or you can watch my entire presentation.

The video starts with me talking about the camera we are using to record the presentation.  But I don't know how to edit it so you can learn about the camera. 

I usually show the following items: 

Wing Stove

Sparkie Fire Starter

Quick Clot

Kitchen Sink

Burn Free

Gas Shut Off Tool

If you are trying to decide what to bring take a look at the top sellers list (find it on the front end)

Most important thing to remember about emergency supplies:

If you bring it to the party they will buy it.  If you don’t they probably won’t.

Emergency Products: Must Have Communication Items for a 72-hour or Car Kit

This is from Elise.  Thanks Elise!!

Crank LED Flashlight With Cell Charger 

http://www.shelfreliance.com/crank-led-flashlight-w-cell-charger.html

The crank flashlight/ cell phone charger is fantastic for any emergency. How precious is that one phone call that can put you in contact with your loved ones in time of crisis. One minute of cranking gives you 60 min of light. It comes with adapters for the most popular cell phone models. It will charge a regular phone for awhile. If you have a smart phone you will need to crank it, and then make a quick phone call. The 3 LED lights are very bright and would be great for changing a tire, signaling for help, or just to play games in your tent. $14 is a low price to pay for the ability to communicate with family.
