[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3081216, member: 9374"] We made the rounds to some local businesses last week with promotional materials and tried to get in to talk to marketing people about corporate sponsorship - made absolutely zero headway. We can't make it past the gatekeepers. I don't know how people do this. I've never been able to ask people for money, and honestly, as I went through the motions a few times, I am much more comfortable making the "pitch", telling them what we do and what we are about - but all we got was no most of the time, or just couldn't get in to see anyone, or "I'll pass this along up the chain". It's pretty disheartening. But stories like the girl above keep me going. Hopefully we'll gain some traction soon. [/QUOTE]
