You’ve Got This

Asking a local business to partner is a real-world business skill. Most business owners appreciate a polite, prepared young entrepreneur (or family) who wants to spread kindness and learn.

                Be clear, be brief, be kind, and bring your printed materials + a few sample rocks.  
                Whether they say yes or not, you are practicing courage and professionalism.
            

Tips for Making Your Pitch

Keep it simple, positive, and focused on mutual benefit.

Be Prepared

Print your Pitch Script and Agreement. Bring 3–5 finished Kindness Rocks as samples.

Smile & Introduce Yourself

Focus on Benefits for Them

Emphasize low risk, positive image, unique product, free Badge, and supporting local youth.

Keep It Short

Thank Them Either Way

Smile, say thank you, and leave a positive impression — every conversation is practice.
