First sales task is to identify all Parks and Recreation Departments and set up meetings. Parks and Recreation offer Enrichment Programs, PreSchool Programs, Camps, ETC.

While looking for summer camp locations in late 2018, I noticed the Montgomery County Parks and Recreation Summer camp guide and reached out to their office to inquire about new partnerships. A couple phone calls and an in-person meeting later, I noticed they were not running any Flag Football Summer camps. We started off with 2 weeks of Flag Football Camp over the 2019 summer, with an average of about 15 kids per week. That turned into weekend basketball clinics (bringing in 50-60 kids ages 3-13)during this school year and when summer camp discussion came back around, the feedback for our programs was so outstanding that we opened 2 locations for full summer, multi-sport camps as well as Flag football camps and a possible partnership for summer basketball leagues.
Word of mouth travels fast, and when camp registration opened up on Jan. 21st, we brought in over $40k in revenue on the first day. If the early results continue to climb, we are looking at a potential for $150k+ between all of our offerings through the county. The best part is, we are able to do this all without spending a dime on marketing since the Camp guides get sent out to every single Elementary and Middle School at the county.
