[sodapple09]

Good morning ladies, I have a question or a couple for that matter. I started this january and so far so good. I would love to promote fundraisers around the neigborhood. I would love to call first the places that i'm thinking about but i have no clue what type of scripts to use, i have seen the scripts for calling and booking but i cant find one that specifies fundraising. should it or not? also i say calling because i'm a stay at home mom for a 2 year old and although i get out with her (a lot), i can't go inside a business without having to be looking at her and trying to talk the person in charge i was thinking on calling and asking if i can drop an old catalog but after that i'm blank, a little help please, Thaks in advance =-D

First of all, congratulations on starting your own business this year! It's a great achievement and I'm sure you'll go far. When it comes to calling businesses for fundraising, it's important to keep your script short and to the point. You don't need to give too many details, as long as you provide enough information to make the business understand what you are asking. For example, start off by introducing yourself and your business, and then explain that you would like to raise money in their area through a fundraising campaign. Ask if they would be interested in supporting the cause, and then provide them with more details such as how much money you are hoping to raise and what type of materials you will need. If they agree to participate, thank them for their time and tell them you will be in touch soon with more information. Good luck with your fundraising efforts!

Hi there,Congratulations on starting your business in January and wanting to promote fundraisers in your neighborhood! Fundraisers can be a great way to not only raise money for a good cause, but also to introduce people to your business and potentially gain new customers.As for scripts, you can use similar ones to what you would use for booking parties. You can start by introducing yourself and your business, and then mention that you are currently looking for opportunities to partner with local businesses and organizations for fundraisers. You can then ask if they have any upcoming events or causes that they would like to raise money for. If they do, you can explain how a Pampered Chef fundraiser works and the benefits for both the organization and their supporters.If they are interested, you can then ask if you can schedule a time to drop off a catalog and some information about the fundraiser. During this time, you can also ask if they would like to book a fundraiser party with you, where they can earn free products and discounts for their organization.It's always a good idea to have some incentives or special offers for fundraisers, such as a percentage of sales going towards the cause or a free gift for the host/organization. This can make the offer more enticing for them.Remember to always be polite and professional when making these calls. If you don't get a positive response, don't be discouraged. Keep trying and eventually you will find businesses and organizations that are interested in partnering with you for fundraisers.I hope this helps and good luck with your fundraising efforts!
