Selling The Product

This week has probably been the busiest of our entire challenge. Every spare minute was spent selling our calendar to the public, making sure that our money was correct and that everyone had receipts. However, with so many people purchasing a calendar, word of mouth has meant that more people now wish to buy our calendar, so it was a good thing we bought another 20 this week! We are very pleased with the amount raised from selling the calendars, and cannot wait to sell the remaining 20 calendars left, as we have sold our original 100.
The only problem is that the next 2 weeks, and the last 2 weeks of the Linvoy Primus Enterprise Challenge, is when we are doing our Trident work experience. This puts us at a slight disadvantage, but we will get through it, meeting at weekends and after our work. We hope to do some work during our lunch breaks as well, and use the facilities at our work place, and ask for any support from staff.
We will arrange for dates for when we will all meet up, to discuss how many calendars we have each sold at our work place (which is another advantage), and make sure that our business plan is fully complete, along with all our money raised. We are so pleased by how much we have raised from the calendars, in such a short space of time. It took a while to print them, and to actually think of a successful product, but our effort to sell them has definitely paid off.
We learnt today that our 20 calendar order is ready to be collected and paid for, so all it needs now is to collect them from Chameleon Print, sell them to the public, and reach our target.
