Will networking with the club owner prove profitable?
Kiss: Part 1
Upon receiving the sponsorship and business plan challenge, I knew that I could raise the sponsorship money by contacting my employer, Chuck Davis at Attorneys Title Insurance Agency, Inc. He has always supported my ventures and I was hoping this time would be no exception. Luckily within a day of me telling him what I was doing, he was more than happy to sponsor me the $1000 I was supposed to raise. My group had also decided that we wanted to have a party at a local club in an attempt to raise extra sponsorship money for the challenge. While out on the town one night with some friends, we decide to go dancing at The Office. While there, the security guard came up and handed me a bottle of champagne from the owner of The Office. Rather than being the typical girl who would be excited about the opportunity to date a rather wealthy club-owner, I was more interested in the business opportunity aspect. I thought he would be the perfect person to have help my group throw a party. I went up to meet him, thanked him for the champagne, got a business card and set a date for our next meeting. I was enjoying “networking” already, and I had just begun! Over the course of the next couple weeks, it became evident that the owner of The Office was less interested in helping me throw a party and more interested in dating me. I expressed to my group that this plan would not be as profitable as we thought, and that we should probably all just raise the money on our own. Stay tuned to see what we did…
