5. How?
Each made a list of connections to contact
Private with no cart
Asked Steinjäger if there was anything that they needed
They needed shirts for women
They negotiated a price that left little profit
Sold directly to eliminate shipping costs
6. Challenges
Bad timing with multiple connections
Being the mediator
Sales deadline
Selling to companies vs. general public
Buying in bulk vs. open cart
Cost of the custom design and underground printing
7. Lessons Learned
Be wary when working with family.
Work for better negotiations.
Ask first about the company ordering process.
Contact earlier in the semester.
Must have an open cart to the general public,
In addition to targeting companies.

Rylan: The rowing, water ski, golf, and wrestling teams all had recently ordered all of their gear. The gear was purchased in a way that offered more variety.
Take color of logo to drive down price
Anne: with better negotiation skills we may have been able to make some profit but instead we only sold at cost. When project was announced start reaching out then because if we had, potentially could have sold to rowing, water ski, golf and wrestling teams.
