CROSBIE’S SELLING STYLE NETS ANOTHER $1K AT METRO BOWMANVILLE

Bowmanville, Dec 11,12,14: What could have been a disastrous weekend for Optimist Club of Oshawa Car raffle sales at the Metro Food Store chain turned into an acceptable bank deposit of $1,275.20 of weekend sales.

On Dec. 11th fighting away blistering wins, snow and unbelievable cold weather sales where down to only $210.00.  Another our 2009 GM Vibe wasn’t on display because of hazardous sidewalk conditions. The veteran raffle sales team comprised of Ronald ‘Batman’ Hele Peter Pniauskas were frustrated with the results.

With improved weather conditions and our vehicle on display had to fly solo as his partner Ilse Gilchrist was hit by that nasty flu bug. After numerous telephone calls raffle chair Jim Shaw landed his grandson Curtis Rodgers as a pinch-hitter. Net Saturday sales improved to  $410.00

Thanks the super sales style of husband/wife Crosbie combo  of elizabeth and Sandy sales flourished. They completely took over in a two-team showcase netting $647.20 for a three day weekend total of $4,175.20.
