Free Money

 Free Money? 

·         Where will you go?

o    I will go to the gym, grocery store, and just walk my dog around the neighborhood. 

·         What kind of people will you approach?

o    I will approach people who are just walking by me, on the phone, not paying attention, and just standing on the street. 

·         What will you say to get the conversation started?

o    I just planned on giving them a dollar bill and saying, "here you go!”  

·         What is your plan for the conversation?

o    If they ask me about the dollar or try to give it back; I would just say, "I'm just trying to make your day!” 

·         Out of five attempts, how many dollar bills do you think you will be able to give away? 

o    I think I could give them all away. Who wouldn't want free money? 

Results:

• This exercise was a little tough at first. Handing out dollar bills to random people is just weird. As you can tell my nervous giggly voice in the video, it's not the most comfortable thing. Especially when you are trying to record it at the same time. It definitely would have helped to bring someone with me. However, it was fun and an interesting experience. Giving away a dollar was not as easy as it looks. People don't think of things as free. There is always a hidden catch. My predictions were incorrect. I thought I could give all of the money away. Some people just really wouldn't take it. They just looked at me weird. The funny thing is, an adult took the dollar and a younger adult did not. That's why I chose these two recordings. You would think it would be the opposite. I think it might depend on the mood, timing, and place of the person. If you’re on the phone, you don't want any interruptions. Something like that just really throws you off. It makes sense that the initial response would be, "no".
