Today, when I turned up for work, there were a whole load of new sports centre leaflets in Reception. Max was there too, reading through and checking for any mistakes.
He was excited with the new leaflet and suggested that we go down into town together to hand out some of the leaflets and try to generate a bit of business for the tennis centre at the same time.
All of which, is a much more dynamic and go-ahead approach than I am used to from the management of for the sport, sports and sporting activities centre.
I was wearing my tennis gear and, after a few minutes, Max reappeared wearing his. He commented with a smile that he might as well look the part.
I have to say that the people we talked to in the high street were very friendly. I lot of them didn’t even know that there was a tennis centre at the Sports, Sports and Sporting Activities Centre. At least three of them promised to come along and join in at the next Rusty Rackets tennis session and a few parents were interested in private tennis coaching for their children to improve their tennis.
It was an exhausting day talking to so many people but I really felt but I was getting to grips with the marketing of the tennis centre for which I am responsible. It is such a help having somebody like Max who is open to new marketing ideas and ready to implement them without any delay when the opportunity arises.
On our way back, Max suggested that we could also sometime go and visit local schools and talk about government tennis incentives available for young people who want to take part in competitive tennis.
Suddenly there seems to be so much that I can do to make the tennis centre a success and it’s becoming a habit to be looking forward to the next day at the Sport, Sports and Sporting Activities Centre.
