Kick-off! A live assembly is the BEST way to increase your sale! – Tell why you’re raising money (your #1 priority!) – Demonstrate the prizes – Your Consultant can help with more ideas! The professionally produced, dynamic and energetic kick-off DVD is a great enhancement for your sale. Show often after your live kick-off – 3 minute “main” video – 30 second “mid-sale” commercial – 30 second “end of sale” thank you

The Truck Arrives! Verify the number of pallets and boxes match the bill of lading – Record any damages or shortages on the bill of lading Place the boxes on end (like dominos or soldiers) in numerical order. This will arrange them alphabetically.
