Need suggestions/recommendations for taking on large fundraiser

[robochick84]

I want to first and foremost thank all of you for such an informative site on PC products and delicious recipes. I have been an avid buyer, user, and advocate of PC for nearly 10 years after falling ill and not having the strength to use standard kitchen tools, etc.

I am not yet a consultant but I am taking this on as a task prior to 'enlisting' as I did recently loose my job. I have been working with a TNR (trap neuter release) and low cost spay and neuter organization for cats that is run by volunteers for the past 6 months while out of work. I have decided to take on a fundraiser project for them as they have never been successful at a fundraiser and what better than PC.

I was so excited to find a plethora of information available on here that you have all used and I am so grateful for you sharing it. A few of the items I have modified and put my own spin on.

Any information on successful fundraising that you may want to share, criticism, or comments please throw them my way! I have attached a few of the documents I have been working with thus far.

If you have prepared or modified each of the pieces of paperwork, above, you have all the markings of being an excellent consultant. Go for it, and take advantage of this fund raiser being one of your parties. Has anyone told you about the tremendous benefits you will receive as a new consultant? Why wait, you have the time now to put into it. You will get lots of support here, I can assure you.

You are showing a consultant's name and website. Will she be your recruiter and coach? Ask for her assistance in getting your start. Mine was an Angel and still, after four years, is my best cheer leader..

Thank you for the kind words. I have an IT background so documents, etc just come easy. I am hesitant to becoming a consultant as I have only lived in the area for just over the year and haven't had luck making friends/connections.

I am hoping the fundraiser will prove whether or not I have the ability to connect with individuals and have that 'sales' edge. My plan is to have three tables with different info and I will 'man' one of them to get the experience while my consultant 'mans' the other.

I have seen the "hierarchy" charts on how you move up through the line, but I have not seen anything on benefits of a new consultant - I will look for those.


My consultant has only been doing this for six months herself and was not a PC user prior. She is still learning and working out logistics of what she is able to do for a fundraiser while I learned a great deal from everyone here!

Thanks,

Ashley
