In order to succeed, you have to start with a goal
then meet it. This means estimating your expected
revenue ahead of time!
Your fundraising company should be able to tell you
just what to expect in your area! Here’s the formula:
Number of actual sellers times average dollars raised per seller times profit to your group.
Example: 100 sellers x $100 per seller = $10,000 x .5 (or 50%) = $5,000 profit.
In order to meet your goal, have fun and stay excited!
