Going big on small

Going big on small business, that is. Since I haven't started climbing yet, I feel that I should continue to give you some insight to what I am doing to get ready for my climbs.

I am continuing to focus on gaining sponsorships from larger businesses, but I have also begun to work with local small businesses. Up until this point, I have sort of overlooked this sector, and I feel that it is time to change that.

My reasoning is that I already have relationships established with several of these businesses. It is always hard to cold-call, so anytime I can avoid doing that, I will. I am currently making up fliers, and have set up some plans that should work really well with their budgets. It is now time to see if I am write. I have a personal goal of passing out 100 of these by Christmas, so I should have a pretty good feel on how this is going to work by the New Year.

Life is good,

Mark
