This one is for the neophytes.
Some of us are born natural salespeople. As children, we sell charity items to support our school and clubs with a smile and a sense of purpose, rejoicing in every pound recorded in our ledgers. Others of us are shy, reticent, and perhaps a little afraid of our customers.
If you have printed Raffle Tickets, you now find yourself in the position of needing to move them: you must go out into the community and begin selling Raffle Tickets here, there, and everywhere. Otherwise, what are they for?
How? If you wish to raise funds for a worthy cause (of course your cause is worthy) you need only be honest. Here’s a sample script:
You: Hi, my name is Penelope and I’m working for the Children’s Fund to help provide medical care for one hundred underprivileged children overseas. Today we’re selling Raffle Tickets at only two pounds each, with a chance to win a new car. Would you like to purchase some?
It’s that simple!
Where can you sell Raffle Tickets? How about your neighborhood? It’s an opportunity to get to know your neighbors. Your neighborhood pub is also a good bet, as are sporting events.
Your place of employment is a possibility, but remember to get an administrator’s permission first! Don’t make a nuisance of yourself, either. You want to sell Raffle Tickets, not alienate your coworkers.
Wherever people congregate, you will find a market for your draw. So go ahead. Practice with your friends and family. Introduce yourself and your worthy cause. Be prepared to discuss the wonderful work that is to be done with the proceeds. Then start selling.
Have you any interest in a Raffle Ticket
