Mayonnaise

The other day my wife was looking through the sales flyers and exclaimed:

“Who would pay $3.49 for a 15oz jar of mayonnaise when the 30oz jar is $3.69?!”

I said: “Me.”

Her: “Why?”

Me: “Because that’s too much mayonnaise.”

A partial list:

At the end of the day, good clients won’t care about your price if you give them something else that they care about more.

Yours,
