DON’T REACT, USE SARA Surprise – wait out shock you
might immediately feel
Anger – give yourself permission to feel “How can they do this to me!”
Rationalization –wait out the
stage where you justify and may seem to be objective
Acceptance –now review what
you’ve heard, check it against other situations, and take what is valid

YOU CAN TAILOR YOUR MESSAGING BASED ON FEEDBACK
I’m someone who has been following
fashion and designing clothing for myself and friends for years.
We’ve built our tailoring business around custom clothing, somewhat like India. You come in and look through our bolts of fabric, choose your style, we measure you and a week later you have a great outfit!
I’d love to offer you 10% off of your first visit. Or, do you know anyone who could really use my services?
