No more flipp'n through magazines

Yay!!! No more flipping through magazines to find potential leads. Now, I am contacting every major hotel or resort in metropolitan phoenix. My new project is called, Hotel/Resort Purchasing Department Contacts.

The goal of this project is to make a lead with the purchasing department. The purchasing department has the say in which small businesses get to be contracted for additional help. This is a huge deal for us, because we have eliminated wasteful strategies that led to no business and now going straight to the powerful ones. Once a small business is added to the list, the hotel will contact that small business to assist in huge functions such as events, conferences, etc. when necessary.

I felt very successful calling my first group of hotels. One hotel had informed me that they already had two companies they work with, but would be glad to hand down our information. I sent the lady Wingteam's information as well as a warm thank you for her time. My next task is to follow up with the hotel. It'd be nice if I could secure that piece of business, because then I'd get a bonus check.

Other than that, Yvette, my supervisor, did this pretty neat activity with the interns to make the work day funner. She had each intern pick a card. The card I chose said "Abundance." I looked it up to only read that I am to ask the angels to release my fears of scarcity and to accept this flow of abundance coming my way. It was fun to read.

In summary, this week I learned that it's not a bad idea to ask another professional for advice in business growth. Although some may not give you their secrets, others are glad to lead you toward the right direction. I practiced my phone skills by rehearshing a little script before calling. Of course I refrained from sounding like a robot. I am hoping that after this project I can gear the company toward another direction by doing promotional projects, or help Wingteam design a better website.
