Where would be the best way to find people and organizations that are looking for great fundraisers?


I have a business that sells in home products via home party sales. I haven't been a very good "hostess coacher" and I seem to run into walls when I ask some one to have a party for me. I never was good at cold calling when I was a lighting designer however if you ever came to me I could solve problems, find what you wanted and did a fairly good job staying in your budjet. Now I'm on disability for a number of problems and I would like to try you guessed it has to do with cold calling!

Also, consider joining your local chamber of commerce or other networking groups where you can get the word out in mass. This way, people get to know you and most people like doing business and giving referrals to someone they know.

I also do fundraisers and this has been a great source for me.

Good luck!

EXPECT Success!
