Demonstrating the machine in person is the best way for you to show the machines "TALKING ABILITY" as well as it's amusement factor. This is important in locating the best locations, the "IN PLACES."

A potentially good location can be lost if the distributor is not prepared to answer the key questions as well as "DEMONSTRATE THE MACHINE."
