Wendy of the not-so-coincidentally-named Wendy’s Hair Studio is the grand prize winner in The Battle of Rufe Snow sales contest to sell the most copies of newly-released Dave Lieber’s Watchdog Nation book.
The book is not available in stores — for now the publisher wants to stay off Corporate America’s radar — and can be found at Watchdog Nation and Amazon.
So Wendy is the top seller of a book readers are calling a must-have for every family.
What’s her secret? “You have to talk about it,” she says. “Start off simple. Then you put it in their hands. And then you play off how they handle that. You pretty much go by their vibes.” [You can read the full transcript of Wendy the haircutter’s Q&A on her book-selling secrets elsewhere on WatchdogNation blog.
Wendy earned a percentage of profits from the book sales (much higher than any bookstore would pay, by the way!) and also the $100 grand prize. She received her check the other day when she cut Watchdog Nation Leader Dave Lieber’s hair.
Coming in second in the sales contest is the staff at Rufe Snow Dental, which wins a $50 cash prize.
Also in the competition and gotta love ‘em for trying were Rufe Snow Depot Self-Storage, which also has a postal substation and the renowned Chef Point Café, the famed five-star restaurant in a gas station in beautiful downtown Watauga.
All is not lost though for competitive Chef Franson Nwaeze. When we delivered the news, he told us he had even better news. TV show host Guy Fieri from the show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the Food Network spent a day at his place. The show is scheduled to be broadcast on April 6. Way to go, Chef!
