A: Hey, Kyle, I was going to order flowers from your shop, but I noticed there was no location listed on the website.
K: Yeah, I wanted to keep costs down, so I don't have a brick-and-mortar shop./ A:How dose that work?
K: I have a warehouse with a big refrigerator and a small staff of disigners. Most of my clients are businesses and small flower shops.
A: So why bother with a website for retail customers?/ K: Retail customers can make up for the times when business is slow.
A: You mentioned that you're getting a lot of orders because it's spring, and Mother's Day,Memorial Day, and a lot of weddings take place this month.
K: Yes, I did. We can hardly keep up with the orders./ A: Well, I've always wanted to learn flower arranging so if you need extra help. .
K: If you're willing to work you butt off, I can teach you everything I know./ A: I'm available evenings and weekends. Will that work?
K: Can you start tommorow? We have a huge wedding order to prepare for Sunday.
A: You weren't kidding when you said you were busy. What's the secret to your amazing success?
