This week I spent one day in the office and two working the game nights. In the office, I was making calls to companies that were a part of the "East Hartford Chamber of Commerce" to see if they were interested in coming out to a group outing and buying a package deal. Although nobody bought any package deals over the phone, I got emails from about half the companies for more information to distribute. This deal was exclusively offered to companies who were a part of the commerce. This was probably one of the more challenging tasks I had this past summer, but it was important to know how to make these types of sales calls because you are always going to use sales in your life. I only ended up with one company buying my ticket package deal, a funeral home based in New Britain. However, that didn’t stop me from going into every call as if I was going to make the sale. From that day forth, I decided my motto would be “I can make 99 calls and get rejected, but if the 100th call I make a sale then it was all worth it”.
Then for the game day, I was in charge of the on-field promotions; the kids scooter race, the Dunkin' Donuts Race, and the 7th Inning God Bless America. And on the other game day I worked this week I was in charge of the merchandise shop prize wheel. The only thing very exciting this weekend was that the Rock Cats were playing the Trenton Thunder (the AA Affiliate of the New York Yankees) and I got to see one of my favorite Yankees play who was rehabing! Francisco Cervelli!
