I want to expand my fundraiser and go into salons and different offices around where I live, I want to call first and I would like your opinion to see if it sounds good or maybe tweak it a bit to make it sound better. So here it goes:

Hi, my name is Karina and I'm a pampered chef consultant, I was wondering if you would like to participate on our Help to whip fundraiser to help the ACS

Depending on what they say, then I’ll continue pretty much I was thinking on saying something like, can I come over and explain it to you, if they say yes then I’ll go. If they want me to explain by phone then I’ll do so too, first with booking a show, then catalog, or even buying the pink products to help. Kind of pamper a business but I’ll just bring something over if they order or do something.
How does it sound? I’ll love your input, thanks =-D
