Below are two approaches based on the information you gave me about Brooks… Here’s the information from the homework assignment that I used to develop the approaches…
This is one of the reasons that the homework assignment is so important for your new team members if you want to be able to create an approach that’s hopefully so good that it would be silly for them to NOT to at least want to take a look at what we’re doing… in other words you want to stack the deck in your favor!

Approach #1:
Hey Brooks,
I’ve been thinking about our conversations at work and I know you’re looking to hit those next hourly raises at Costco for more financial freedom. What if there was a way to start generating some extra income without waiting for those raises and without the stress of a management position?
I’ve come across something that might be perfect for you. It’s a part-time venture that you can start with as little as 30 minutes a day. You’d have the flexibility to work from anywhere, which means you could finally start visiting your home state in Ohio without worrying about the cost. Plus, this wouldn’t interfere with your current job at Costco.
What I really like about it is that it’s not traditional sales, so there’s no need to convince or persuade anyone. And given how health-conscious you are, always eating healthy and staying in good shape, this could be a great fit for you. The business aligns well with a healthy lifestyle, which I know is important to you.
There are also some great tax advantages that could potentially lower the taxes you pay on your Costco income, which means more money in your pocket. The best part is, you can work with people you choose and build something that’s truly yours.
We’ve got a guy with over 50 years of experience in this industry, and his methods are super simple and effective. If you’re open to it, I’d love to share some brief information with you to see if it’s something that could work for you.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks, Brooks.

Approach #2 (Dash of humor added)
Hey Brooks,
So, I was thinking about our chats at work and had a crazy idea—what if you didn’t have to wait for those next hourly raises at Costco to get some extra cash in your pocket? I know, sounds too good to be true, right? But hear me out.
Imagine this: you could start making some extra income with just 30 minutes a day. That’s like the time it takes to eat one of your healthy break room snacks! And the best part? No need to deal with the headaches of a management position. You’d have the freedom to work from anywhere, including your beloved Ohio, so you can visit home without breaking the bank.
I found this part-time gig that’s perfect for someone like you who’s health-conscious and not into traditional sales. No need to become a salesperson. Plus, there are some sweet tax perks that could save you money on your Costco income—who doesn’t love saving on taxes?
You get to choose who you work with, so no more dealing with those weird decisions that don’t make sense. And we’ve got a seasoned pro who’s been in the game for over 50 years. His methods are as simple as your healthy lunch routine and just as effective.
If this sounds intriguing, I’d love to share some quick info with you. It could be just what you need to start living your best life—no sales pitches, I promise.
Let me know what you think!
Thanks, Brooks.
