Remember...I was an art major!

So, yesterday I got enough nerve to start calling businesses about possible sponsorships. I made a list of businesses that I thought might have an interest, got the phone book out, and away I went. It's amazing how the person who makes the decisions is never in. I did get someone who told me to come by in the afternoon. That was at least promising. Once there, she informed me that business is slow and they can't afford to do any advertising for themselves. So, I don't really think that one's goin' to work out. Then I thought, well I'm already dressed up...I might as well hit the streets of Provo. After four or five businesses and one man giving me a really crusty look and making me feel uncomfortable, I went home. When I got home, I kicked off the heels put on the tennis shoes, which made me feel much better, and was ready to call it quits. I was not made for marketing or advertising. I don't have a thick skin and being told "no" is a little tough. If I am able to raise this money it will be a miracle and a huge success for me. Remember... I was an art major not a business major.
