When Angela talked to the Josten Rep---she took some FIRST brochures with her. This seemed to help a lot.
I am the teacher from team 476, and I will get the sales rep name. My understanding is that the sales rep's boss was the one that made the decision, he happened to be with the sales rep.
On Monday, I will have Angela post the contact name & info.
The customer is always right, and if all of you that read this could get your entire team to form a letter writing campaign, the company would be foolish to turn down possible ring sales.
Also, I told my team that in the event we should be fortunate enough to win a wonderful award, and they wanted rings---then we would do so. Hopefully, the FIRST logo would be offered on the sides.
We have been working the Josten salesmen for 4 years now---hopefully this will be the beginning, and other ring companies will see the potential market in offering FIRST logo.
Who knows---the ring salesmen might start showing up at the competitions.
I notified FIRST about this---so they would know.
Have a great school year, only 118 days till kickoff!
