“You Had Me at Hello”
Target Audience: Teachers, School Professionals, Behavior Analysts
Remember that famous line from Jerry Macguire - “You had me at hello.”? Isn’t it so true - that just “hello” can facilitate positive feelings towards the person and perhaps the situation?

How can I help you?” Doesn’t that make you feel welcomed and aren’t you more likely to ask for help and to ultimately buy something?
