Short Description of Activity
I went through my contact list and called everyone on the list that had a phone number listed. Making verbal contact with many on the list, and leaving messages for the other, I was able to ‘clean up’ the list of any disconnected phone numbers. I let all know that an email was coming from Blue Diamond Broads of SN. One contact turned out to be very close friends with a neighbor, a potential new member, and another is a Desert Master Gardener who volunteers at Springs Preserves, and a third is with Friends of NV Wilderness. Future activities though networking with these connections is a distinct possibility.
Reflection/Evaluation
Cold calling is nerve wracking. I could never be in marketing. I got through the whole list and that is a great accomplishment if I do say so myself.
