LIMITED TIME OFFER!!

FEEL FREE TO SKIP THIS FIRST SECTION AND HEAD TO THE GOOD PART!!
As I have written about before in previous blogs, I play soccer here for Missouri Southern and I love it!  Every year we fundraise to make money for our program.  It always sounds like such a good idea, but when it actually comes down to selling the stuff it becomes quite difficult to actually fundraise.  Ha ha.  I have always thought of myself as someone who speaks very well.  Writing, not so much my thing, but make a speech to someone about anything I have a ton of confidence in myself in that area.  With that said, when our soccer team was told to sell ornaments last winter I thought with my people skills and silly sales techniques I could sell what I was asked of and more!! Ha.  Boy was I wrong.  It was a lot harder than I thought. I always feel bad about catching people one on one and putting them on the spot about buying something that in no way benefits them and I am sure deep down they do not want any part of it.  I never want to make any one feel obligated to buy from us, so in return I just hit up my parents and close relatives.  Well that has not gotten me any way especially this year when our team has been asked to sell ONE OF A KIND Missouri Southern glass mugs!! Boy have these things become a pain in the neck.  When we first started selling in December we did not have an individual quota to meet, but now that it is April and we still have a lot of mugs left to sell each person on our team has been told they must sell 16 mugs.  We must return $160 to our coach by next Friday no matter if we sell them all or not.  Basically if we do not sell all 16 mugs, the rest comes out of our pockets….ouch!!
Sooooooooo….that leads me into this: 
Missouri Southern Women’s soccer team is selling GENUINE, ONE OF A KIND, EXCLUSIVE glass mugs around campus.  Get your hands on one of these mugs, because boy are they going quick!!  If you buy a mug in the next week you will be able to fill it up with water at any one of our participating water fountains on campus…..FOR FREE!!!!!  I know I know crazy offer!  But if you want to get really crazy and buy more than one mug, I bet I could cut you a deal and sell you 4…count em 4 mugs for only $35! Sounds like a steal to me.  Let me know you if you are interested in supporting MSSU Women’s soccer and I will be more than happy to sell you one. 
Also another little offer I have which may be more beneficial for you is we are also selling Missouri Southern shirts and sweatshirts.  If you are interested in any one of these limited time offers let me know!!
