> showcase their product on her show.
> She got to the airport, and flew herself to

> And she managed to convince five sponsors to

> She spent most of her day telephoning

> and also tying his party in to the Indy 300

> For ticket sales, he used a professional

> He was promoting till late, and you could

> Cameron Fisher was organizing TWO events and
> also selling some products....
> First thing he did was he got someone to
> drive him to Katoomba, a town in the Blue
> Mountains, where he could catch the train to
> Sydney. On the train, he organized a plane
> flight to his "home base" --
> Melbourne. He also did all his planning out
> on a notepad he must have bought in
> Katoomba, and started his phone calls while
> on the train.
> The first event he was planning was a $500
> per head dinner for Thursday night, with an
> auction included plus a celebrity guest
> speaker. Here, he was just looking for 20 -

> For this event, he had to organize a guest

> get a local Aussie celebrity, "Dr.
> Feelgood". A local media personality,
> she talks about sex issues on TV and the
> radio!
> To promote this event he made all the phone
> calls himself. He said he got about a 50%
> success rate for those he called. He must
> have gotten a list of very wealthy
> individuals who were interested in auctions
> and Olympic memorabilia....
> The second event he was organizing was a $50
> per head business luncheon to be held in
> three weeks time for 450 people, with Jesse
> Martin , the youngest person to sail
> non-stop around the world, as the guest
> speaker. For this, he hired some
> telemarketing professionals to make all the
> phone calls to try to sell the $50 per head
> tickets.
> He also arranged to get some promotional
> pens (from Wombat Promotions in Melbourne,
> Australia). He bought 200 pens for $355, and
> he was planning to sell them for something
> like $10 - $12 each I think.
> So, all three of them spent most of

> Okay, coming up.... How they spent Thursday,
