Pink Shirts are now Available



Pink shirts are now available in men's and ladies styles. Anyone that has raised over $1000.00 is entitle to a free one - anyone else may wait to they reach this level or purchase one at our cost of $50.00

They have already proven to be a great conversation piece and sales tool.

We would still like to see everyone subscribing to this blog and signing on to https://ultrakor.pipelinedeals.com/login
and learning the new online sales tracking tools.
Just so everyone is aware the system does tell us who is logging in and when.

Question from Chris in Kelowna who is new...

This question is from last week.

Chris was asked a couple of times what the money is used for locally and how the schools were to be involved. Chris is in the Okaganan.

The answer is that all monies raised locally are used locally to the best of our ability. Since this is a new area, our mission for the first year is to "just" create a presence and awareness which may be limited to just a trailer and our own events or as a "bonus" only could stretch to include offering the schools our popular reporting tool in the fall - all this hinges on the amount of money raised between now and then - please stay on the cautious side and say the reporting tool "could" be offered and that would be the limit of any kind of school involvement for this year in this area or Saskatchewan and the Lower Mainland. Remind them that Awareness has to me more than a wearing a pink shirt once a year. We will be getting out bookmarks to the schools at some point during the year.

Always stress to the potential sponsor when asked this type of common question that the program is now more "community focused" and not so much "school focused" as was the case in the past - Bullies and Bullying is a social issue not a school issue and that ultimately gets back to a community and parenting effort to make a difference. Focus should be on the Bully themselves as if they were helped there would be less Bullying and thus less victims.

Remember Bullies don't go away they just grow up.

How do you deal with managers or "its up to head office" - sponsorship

First thanks for everyone who attended our "online" sales meeting today - our first Friday session. If you have any ideas on how to make these sessions as short, efficient and productive as possible please let Igor or myself know.

Today's question came from Jared - who works out of Langley.

He wanted to know what to do if a manager at a company says that it is up to his head office. Well it sounds like he has been doing the right thing - that being getting as much info as he can on who to talk to at head office - if that person knows - if the person gives more than one possible name be sure to ask which one in their opinion would be the best to talk to for a program like ours. But collect the numbers submit them with your activity reports and we will arrange to follow up by phone from our end if you are not comfortable in doing so at this point (if it is a national company - we would have to follow it up anyway as their businesses may be in several areas we cover and depending on who it may be - we will decide on a case by case basis - a different information package and price list may apply) - if it is a case like in Jared's circumstance - head office may very well be in Surrey or Vancouver we are open and willing to setting up appointments. At this point we would like to remind everyone as well sponsorship commissions on amounts over $2500 will be decided on a case by case basis - the first $2500 being the normal rate - the excess to be decided upon - based on the amount.

Thanks
Good Luck and Good Selling today and subscribe to this Blog
