extra attention to my issues was wonderful for me.
(LuAnn Freppon, Agent, Richland County)
If
you have a project idea you want
to develop,
bring it along. You will have an opportunity to get
started. We will work with your ideas; think about ways to test
the marketability of your idea, explore ways to expand your program out
of the routine and into cost recovery, think about new audiences that
might want or need your programs, consider potential community
sponsors, begin to develop preliminary
budgets.
At this workshop we will practice
ways to work with customers. Several seasoned and experienced
agents will be there to “star” in the sketches, coach and offer
suggestions. We
will:
- Learn to present a price, keep the door open, and negotiate a cost recovery outcome.
- Share examples of letters of offer and will role-play some typical situations
- Be coached and coach others and actually practice negotiating with a few of our typical and not-so-typical customers.
- Keep an emphasis on the importance of building and keeping relationships, and talking through the situation.

Find Funding -- Set up a Funding
Alert
A Funding Alert is a service
provided by the Community of Science to employees of subscribing
organizations such as Ohio State University.
A funding alert is a weekly email notice that alerts you to new funding opportunities that are relevant to the type of project you want funded.
You start this process by completing a form that asks you to list some words that describe your project.
You can register yourself and set up a funding alert on your own by clicking here
and then clicking JOIN.
If it doesn't make sense to you or you'd like some help, send me an e-mail Jackie LaMuth or call and we'll set up a time.
It only takes 30 minutes or so. We can do this over the phone.
