NCFC got much quieter today, with most of the other part timers coming in during the afternoon, and one of my bosses taking care of work with the players at the stadium. This meant I was put on default duty, taking and making calls. Brad extended our Starbucks competition by another day, so it was important that I made some contacts if I could. Indeed I did, getting to interact with a few people from both the new call sheets we had been handed, and the old ones. On my older sheets, I called back people I had heard from in the past, to confirm their interest and try and push the sale along. I also did some calls to groups or organizations to see whether they were interested in getting a party package or suite package together.
It is really interesting to see from a different perspective of a sales call, as when you’re on the receiving end of one, you usually think it is stupid and a waste of time. However, when you’re doing the calls, each call matters and you want the customer to really be engaged and not think it’s annoying or a waste.
Our fun moment of the day was when the NCFC U23s stopped by outside our office, to pick up some materials for their match tonight against the NC Fusion U23s. They all seemed like a general bunch of nice guys, including the head coach, who was interested in what we do.
