Last week I posted about what to do about all of my samples and how to store them. My relationship with my sales associates have proved to be so beneficial. Not just because of “free stuff” but I have posted many times about why relationships matter. But for the purposes of this post it’s about the enormous amount of samples that I have accumulated from them as well as on my own. At some point you reach a point where you just “give up” for a while trying to organize and actually try them as they are spread out everywhere! Then a few months go by and you decide to try your samples again. I reached out to the brotherhood last week for storage ideas and received several that made sense. I decided to try @Craig Stevenson idea of a pen portfolio!! For less than $20 this seemed like a great thing to try. Here are some pictures loaded. I still need to potentially do some more labeling. But right now they are all in alphabetical house order. Hopefully I can now go through these in a way that doesn’t send my OCD into overdrive 🤣 This is why the brotherhood is so great!! Like @Lon Chaneyfield has been saying to us all. We NEED to engage!! Ask questions and try something. But more importantly follow up with what you’ve learned or tried. You never know it might help someone else in the process!!

This showed up in my feed this morning. To steal from Princess Bride ... I don't think that means what you think it means.
