Teacher's Advice

[Richard Gullion]

When a teacher asking for discounts for referals
calls, I explain that the discounts start next year.
Then I add  for them to make sure their students
mention their name. When I see enough referals, then
they will get a discount. Very rarily does this
happen. Although it works everytime, you give a
discount first.
