Major Project:

Monday
Today I started going through my master list of organizations to identify any possible companies we might want to contact again this year. I began by identifying the companies we had worked with most recently and trying to gather any missing contact information with which to contact them. In the afternoon I printed all of the purchase orders for camps and turned them in to the business manager. There were quite a lot of them especially considering we were not in the office to print them out over the weekend. My supervisor also gave me some work to do researching youth soccer month which I will need to do to help me with my project.

Tuesday
My supervisor went through my list of companies and identified those that he wanted me to call. I went through and made sure I had the correct phone numbers and contact information for the companies before I called them. I have been playing phone-tag with one local body shop who keeps saying they want to be involved with us, but they have been out of the office a lot and it has been difficult to settle a time to meet with them. This afternoon I started the outline for the football promotional plan. This involves promotional activities to be done pre-game, between quarters and at half-time. This will be helpful for me when I begin working on the soccer promotional plans. This afternoon I printed off purchase orders for the camps and took them to the business manager.

Wednesday
I made more sales calls today. Some of our sales have been difficult this year because of a recession in certain industries that have caused business to drop off. It makes our job a little more difficult. My boss has me researching local youth organizations to help with some promotional activities in the fall. So I have been researching contact information for all local recreation departments, civic organizations, etc. I am taking a record of what sports they offered, and in what seasons so we might possibly be able to do some promotional activities with these local groups this coming year. This afternoon I printed off the purchase orders and turned them into the business manager.

Thursday
I finished up my sales calls today. I scheduled a meeting with the body shop I spoke of earlier, but when we arrived they had an emergency arise involving a catering truck breaking down and sitting out in the heat. So we left some of our information with them and were going to contact them at the beginning of the week. This afternoon I did a lot more research involving the local youth organizations and organizing that information into an excel file. This afternoon I printed off the purchase orders and turned them into the business manager.

Friday
today I began work on a very tentative master schedule for all of the fall sports. This will help as we plan promotional activities for the fall sports to make sure that we have no major activities coinciding with one another. In the afternoon I was introduced to Photoshop. I got to make a flyer with the first home games of the fall season printed on it that will be handed out at student orientation next weekend. I had to make about 1000 copies and cut them all to be stuffed into cups. That took up quite a bit of time in the afternoon. I also took the purchase orders to the business manager
