Congrats to Ryan Reed of Tempe, AZ who correctly answered our first question. We both agreed the NLBRA Finals must have a huge impact on the local economy considering it brings in an estimated $10.5 Million. Ryan posed an interesting (and yet unknown) question. What is the impact of the NHSRA Finals in Springfield, IL??? Perhaps a contest for another day.
Also, CONGRATS to Elizabeth Friers of Fultonville, NY for correctly answering our Round 2 question. The NLBRA Franchised 261 events in 2006, that is up by 86 new events since 2002.
July is always a busy month, however for the first time in our history it appears we will outpace the Christmas/Holiday season this month setting a new record Sales Month. We want to thank everyone who continues to show their support for us and helped us along the way. It truly has been an incredible blessing to be able to build this business!!!
Tonight we have been invited to return to an event referred to as SEMEE in Des Moines. Back in February we had the opportunity to share our story with a group of about 140 business minded leaders from the area. It has been an amazing journey just since February getting plugged into this group.
This evening we get to provide the group with an update on our progress since the last meeting and fill them in on all the things we have planned during 2008. Does Sponsoring over 3,000 events sound possible? Hmmmm....I'll keep you posted on that one.
As soon as SEMEE concludes, I run out the door and catch a flight to Pueblo, Co for the conclusion of the NLBRA Finals and the crowning of the 2007 NLBRA World Champions.
Hey Matt. Have a great time in Colorado. You better take plenty of pics to share with us!
And thanks for that $75 gift certificate...now what do you suggest doing with it?
