Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Welcome them when a customer walks in the door. Try an open-ended question, such as “How can I help you? Ask topical questions about why the person needs an item. Offer additional help in finding other items. Hire people with genuine enthusiasm for the products. Host in-store contests. Have a grand opening or engage in local art walks.

Answer: This is the first chance for good customer service. Make them feel comfortable and appreciated, but don’t overdo your interaction. ” instead of “Can I help you?” Ask your associates to reformulate their questions to be open-ended. Don’t be too nosy, but express a genuine interest in what they are looking for so you can create a custom experience. In some cases, this may mean recommending another business if you don’t carry it. Chances are, customers will appreciate this dedication to providing a full-service product. This can be hard in a call center or snack bar, but the customer will engage more with people who are positive and genuine. Reward people for returning regularly, by increasing the number of times they can enter. Become a part of your local community by choosing a charity and asking customers to support it with you. Show customers that you are people running a business, rather than a business running people.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Roll your cookie dough into a log. Screw the ring back onto the barrel.

Answer: Your cookie dough needs to be log shaped so it's thin enough to fit into the barrel of the cookie press. To roll the dough into a log, pick it up and roll it between your hands. Make sure the log is short enough and thin enough to fit in the cookie press barrel.  To save time, buy premade cookie dough that comes in a log shape. Avoid using cookie dough that has big pieces like chocolate chips or nuts in it. Use thin doughs like sugar cookie dough and spritz dough instead. Make sure the ring is twisted all the way on so it's tight. If the ring is on properly, the patterned disk will be on the inside of the barrel. Once the ring is on the barrel, you're ready to start pressing out your cookie dough!


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a cleaner. Saturate the stain with cleaner. Let the cleaner soak in. Absorb excess cleaner with towels. Sprinkle on some baking soda. Allow the remaining cleaner to air dry. Sweep or brush, the area to remove baking soda.

Answer: There are a few different products you can try when it comes to removing cat urine from a mattress. Enzyme cleaners are specifically designed to break down organic matter like urine and blood. Use about ½ to a full cup (118 to 235 ml) of cleaner, depending on the size of the stain. You can also try a mixture of household cleaning products such as:  ¼ to ½ cup (59 to 118 ml) vinegar mixed with equal parts water (depending on the size of the stain ¼ to ½ cup (59 to 118 ml) hydrogen peroxide mixed with equal parts water and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) laundry detergent or stain remover Slowly pour the cleaner over the affected area, making sure you cover the entire stain. If you're using a cleaner in a spray bottle, remove the spray nozzle and pour the cleaner directly onto the stain. Spraying cleaner with a spray bottle will not penetrate the stain deeply enough, and won’t remove all the urine. Leave the cleaner to soak into the mattress for 15 minutes. This will give the cleaner time to work its way down into the mattress, penetrate the stain, and help break down the urine. After 15 minutes, take a couple of fresh towels and lay them over the stain on the mattress. Press them into the mattress to absorb excess cleaner, water, and urine. Continue blotting until you’ve absorbed all the moisture you can. Launder the dirty towels immediately. Sprinkle about ½ cup (110 g) of baking soda over the wet area. This will help draw out more moisture, and pull urine and cleaner odors out of the mattress. Letting the cleaner air dry in the mattress will give it the best chance of breaking down the urine and cleaning the mattress. If you were able to take your mattress outside, leave it out to dry in a covered and protected area where it won’t get dirty or wet from rain.  Inside, set up a fan and point it at the mattress to help speed up the drying time. The mattress may take two to three days to dry completely. To sleep on the mattress before it’s dry, cover the affected area with one or two towels, followed by a plastic bag. Make the bed as usual. Remove the towels in the morning to let the mattress continue air drying. Do NOT vacuum it up. Baking soda will pass through your vacuum's filters and end up in the motor. And then your vacuum will eventually die. When the baking soda has clumped together and absorbed all the liquid it can, use a brush or broom to clean it off the mattress. If the mattress is still wet, you can add more baking soda to keep drawing out moisture and odors.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create dialogue for a scene. Direct the audience’s eye toward the puppet when it is “speaking. Practice in the mirror or record yourself. Play to the audience.

Answer:
You’ll want to create original material for your scene, rather than choosing jokes that people may have already heard. Work on creating an original scene with convincing back-and-forth dialogue between you and your puppet. Pick a topic that people can relate to, like family vacations, relationships and romance, or traffic jams. Study the way people speak to each other so you know where to incorporate sighs, pauses, and words like, “um” or “er.” ” What makes ventriloquy work is the fact that people will associate the sound they hear, which is your voice, with the movement they see, which should be the puppet’s mouth, rather than your own. So, when the puppet is speaking, move the mouth and make gestures to grab the audience’s attention. For instance, raise your puppet’s arm when it is saying “Me, me, me!” or have it slump over when you deliver bad news. Once you’ve come up with dialogue for a scene, practice it in the mirror or record yourself and watch the video afterwards. Take note of which words or sentences look and sound believable, and which don’t. Pay attention to the way your puppet looks while you’re moving it and try to make it seem as life-like as possible. Keep practicing until the routine is flawless. If you are having fun on stage, chances are the audience will be enjoying themselves as well. Let your passion for ventriloquism shine through. Speak as loudly and clearly as you can, and don’t forget to use facial expressions and gestures for both yourself and your puppet. Make eye contact with audience members or even include them in your skit!
