Talking Points and Customer Questions
These Questions and talking points are designed to be conversation starters for you and your customer.  Each customer should be asked about the subject of getting vaccinated.  They may already have gotten the shot but perhaps they need resources for their families.  We don't want you or your customers to feel pressured, but to be engaged as with any other conversation that might come up in your shop.  It should feel natural.  Your advice should be gentle and even if it is not long.  Each customer should ideally leave with an info card.

Have you received your Covid vaccine? 

(If Yes)  That's good. Why did you get it?  Have your family members gotten it?  If you need information, I'm working with the NAACP and have resources.  Let me give you this card.  (You might want to show them that they can also point their phone to a the QR code and visit our NAACP resource page.) Also - if you know someone that does need to get the shot, let them know we will give them a service of up to $25 or they can get $25 off of services that cost more.

  

(If no)  Why not?   This Covid is so scary for our community.  We've lost so many.  If you need information, I'm working with the NAACP and have resources.  Let me give you this card.  (You might want to show them that they can also point their phone to a the QR code and visit our NAACP resource page.) Also - if you get the vaccine, we will give them a service of up to $25 or they can get $25 off of services that cost more.

​

Additional Points to make:

  • Also we are reminding people to continue to social distance and wear their masks.  

  • The shots are free.

  • Black folks are dying faster than anyone because of exposure and preexisting conditions

  • The NAACP's resource page has the following:

  • Information from our people (trusted messengers.)

  • A vaccine location finder

  • Information that separates the myths from the truth
