00:34:59 Janet Hoover: Option 2!

00:51:43 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: i do 10% for choosing quick or 10% if they want to pay in full at any time within the 30 days (expires after 30) – if paying in full feels like it might be an option to give her
00:53:06 Janet Hoover: Can we add that to the scripts ? 🤣
00:53:10 Erica Nash: Thank you so much for asking. My policy is that discount expires in 72 hours.
