FAQ: How can we work together with our board and VIP
Invite Committee to pre-sell the VIP Guest of Honor discount tickets enabling
us to "Jump-Start" our event with money already raised for our
Organization?
Now Easier
to Jump Start than Ever!
One thing that we have found helpful is to communicate to your
board members exactly why this Benefit Concert Series is considered
by President Obama, Clinton, McCain, Kucinich, Nader, Bloomberg, Unicef, The
Red Cross, and even the Prime Minister of Kenya, Africa to be One of the most
significant cultural events of our time!

These links above should give each board member the confidence they
need to follow the 2 easy steps required:
(1.) Emailing the special VIP Jump Start Letter to 25-50 of their
very closest family members, friends, acquaintances and supporters.
(2. ) Following up with at least 8 or more of those people by
phone or in person to make sure they have read the letter and understand the
significance, prestige, and savings of being a VIP Guest of Honor to obtain
their commitment.
Now we can easily confirm this event with funds already
raised for you and thereby allow our staff to do their job (https://jazzforpeace.org/jfptree.htm) to make your event a
success:
If you have 8 board
members and they invite 4 to 5 people each (including themselves of course) you
now have the 45 pairs of tickets needed to announce the event with money
already earned for your organization!
*****Don't be surprised if by using this technique you end up with
more than 35 - 75 pairs pre-sold. - If so we will extend our Jazz for Peace
Discount to cover the overage and give you from $7 to $10 per ticket for every
additional VIP ticket sale.
Should you decide to follow our guidance and have VIP Invite
Committee of 15 members or more (a combination of board members and other
enthusiastic friends and supporters), they will only need to invite 4
VIP’s each for you to have 75 pairs of tickets and with our additional
assistance can now easily graduate to the 100% to you level as detailed at www.jazzforpeace.org/maxfunds .

Dear Jazz for Peace VIP
Committee members,
In my many hundreds of concerts there
have been numerous VIP Committee members who accidentally invited members of
the general public to be a VIP Guest of Honor because they perhaps were
confused as to the difference between the close family member, friend and
supporter who we are asking to become a VIP Guest of Honor, and a member(s) of
the general public whom we are NOT asking to be our honored guests.
The reason you can always tell
that a member of the general public has been invited and not a true VIP Guest
of Honor is because a member of the general public will in many cases need
to know the name of the venue first – whereas a true VIP guest of honor
will always be able to trust the person inviting them
just as yours or my best friend or brother or sister or previous supporters of
my organization would trust me.
For example:
If I were on a VIP committee,
two of the people that I would be asking to be a VIP guest of honor would
be my best friend and my brother.
My very best friend in the
entire world would never tell me
that I had to go and obtain a venue before he would accept my invitation to be
a Guest of Honor at an event that was of such importance to me and the cause I
am standing up for.
Nor would my Brother, Sister,
closest and most trusted confidantes, and supporters ask me to go and get a venue before they would accept their
invitation to be a VIP Guest of Honor at what many will consider to be the most
significant cultural event of the year in their city.
However a very big problem is
caused when a person on a VIP Committee does not reach out to their
best friend or brother or supporters and reaches out instead to the general
public.
That is because of these
two reasons.
1. The general public did not
offer the assistance, support, encouragement, love, friendship and other things
that a best friend, a brother or sister, or a previous contributor has given
and therefore does not deserve to be invited as an honored guest.
2. The general public
should not be invited until the VIP Guests of Honor are already in place and
the concert is confirmed and the venue has been announced just like the person
who mistakenly invites them as such will also conclude.
In summary: Now that you
have agreed to be a part of the VIP Committee for your upcoming event: Please
make a list of your very favorite friends, family members, confidantes,
associates and supporters (25 – 50 or so), email them the Jump Start Letter and
follow up by phone of in person to at least 8-10 of them, and support your
other committee members to do the same.
Remember: A
member of the General Public may or may not jump at the chance to HELP
you to confirm your event as well as receive a substantial savings, be
a part of the VIP Meet and Greet, and all of the other perks that come along
with it.
But a True VIP Guest of
Honor, who at the very least cares about you, and is proud of what you and your
organization are doing – WILL GLADLY DO SO!
