So you have received a Sports Club goody bag before, or have seen us giving away television sets at our event lucky draws. Well, all this is owed to our capable business managers who approach sponsor after sponsor and manage to somehow persuade them to part with their treasured goods and even cash! Pre-requisites include courage and to be honest, you need to be thick-skinned. In fact, VERY thick-skinned. Never mind if the potential sponsor slams down the phone on you, as these companies are often the ones that would eventually relent and sponsor you generously. As can be expected, being a Sports Club business manager is indeed, very challenging. For every event planned, many, many lucky draw prizes and door-gifts have to be canvassed and collected. And it would be up to you to produce the results! The job seems tough, but that is one big learning experience. And, after fighting tooth and nail for goodies, business managers usually establish pretty good rapport with the big sponsors, getting discounts on merchandise and lots of other freebies. Despite the initial hard work though, being a business manager must indeed be one of the most fulfilling tasks you can undertake (and the occasional free treats from sponsors aren't that bad either!).
