FINANCING NEW | Baby Tosh

Eli financial director and all funds go through him and can be a charitable donation through a registered charity

TWO MAIN NEEDS FOR FUNDING AS LAST PIECE OF THE JIGSAW

The one thing missing from the business is - at least as a trial to notice the difference - is wages + commission for a salesman as per the list of targets for a higher price - and to get him started asap to see what he can do with the various targets, to plug away at them and to use the sell and tools and guidelines that I have created to get bookings. He is to blanket it and the results will focus attention geographically - his full time job is to fill the calender with well paid bookings

its not enough to just have alan@babytosh.com we need someone highly trained up by me to be on the phone as "Alans employee", and only on difficult or really big things we will have you "to go to" if the situation requires

SALES GUY

THE VERY MOST GREATEST CHIDUSH OF IT ALL IS

I need a sales person who is brutal, not completely brutal (as I dont condone), but more so than me - the videos and web site present on all fronts a highly confident product, I only ruin that when my insecurities show when it comes to negotiation / closing and some things

ELI a secondary but equally important REASON TO HAVE SALES MAN IS IM TOO CREATIVE BH' THIS WAY YOU CAN HAVE A CONTROL ON WHAT I DO AND FOR HOW MUCH!!!!

WHATEVER THE COST FOR THREE MONTHS $30 or $50 ph?

EMPHASIZE

With all the mechanics that are set up for the salesperson to try out – once you see the results you’ll be able to control the salesperson

The salesman fielding list will entirely present a stronger position for what the future can bring not that we have alleviated all this in and out of peoples homes and all the logistics in that which is a killer.

This was the havamina at the start “to have to choose, FSD or camper”

BH’ its a stupendous product and it has cost me my life, but it’s great, now Ive got to sell it AND IVE GOT TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND to the sales, and thats what this is all about. Its a two man job.

THE WHOLE SALESMAN THING

When people see these videos and they make enquireys about booking me; from being “found” online or “having been approached” I SHOULDN’T BE ME THEY SPEAK TO AT ALL, unless its to do wit some arty thing.

I am also picking up on verrrry positive comments on the drip release of clips set up in Loomly (although I did it in a basic non algorythum way – addressing this point later)

The most important thing to note that as BH’ the right guy for the product, I’m really not the “best” or “right” guy for "the sell" –It’s not just that im close to every detail of te product and the product is me. I can do the prep and deliver the concert BH', but the sell needs a different animal

I can and am doing it, but it's never going to escalate properly with me esp as the sales closer. I am great at getting new contacts that I can pass on.

But as for cold call sales (which the web site is a huge aid to), and price negotiating someone better than me, is anyone but me.

Obviously I’m doing it for this round, but I really hope I/we find someone for proper hi ticket jobs – the web site sales tool is highly effective, it should just be in the hands of an organized, persistent person who can follow my well thought out and easy process

See www.babytosh.com/jobs

In this round I’m placing the J writers show AND operetta, and the Foxes are helping me into Chicago and Atlanta, as well as Charleston.

I’m also ready for a full time sales guy for a bespoke concert process. As well as him succeeding in just once placing me in a shul concert (see the lower section of the /jobs page for all targets). Bespoke as per the previous design to pull multiple seniors facilities residents into a single venue

WE REALLY HAVE TO LOK THROUGH THIS PAGE TOGETHER

THE jobs wix page

It’s a full time job

This is the launch with all the prep lined up

As well as marriage this is the makavapatish

This will fill my calender with well paid gigs

We have it all except this key element

It’s not just that he’d be better at the job, but one eg alone I am making headway with two piano shops; Fox music and Hamilton pianos, it all takes time and persistence / staying on top of, I could and should be approaching every piano shop in the areas I’m heading past, or even as a project to reach out to every one in the usa with my idea as per the email template Fox and Hamilton are using, but it’s all just too much for one person with everything else. I need a dedicated sales person pressing forwards and focusing on only the well paid jobs.

I don’t want to waste what I’ve built on so many levels, I want a shot at it, and a shot means for a short time to try; a paid full time salesman who’s good at the job with the exceptional tools and direction provided.

And the “you never know” component

Examine this THINKING

Im right: I have a good package for a salesman to sell to shuls

And now that Im ready not just for the closer job working with me on some of follow ups i get on the road - BUT i would never have time to make a project of eg: some "new" shuls IN THE AREAS IM GOING TO which can have the same dates offered

Not to mention you can have a direct influence and dialogue with said person

The agenda initially as laid out in the www.babytosh.com/jobs page

Im not shirking my responsibility, I am taking on this round as I have leads to operate on BUT I believe as I always have that a sales guy under proprt instruction with the tools to match will make the difference between night and day in the whole thing

They will also work a lot faster than me because they are not doing so many things

RE GO FUND

We said we'd finish preparing the GoFundMe thing together. I've got it to another, better stage. But it's still probably too much and there's a lot of information, but anyone can reference all these tangent pages I've taken you to on what the salesman's doing and everything and what we need it for.

the Jewish pride part of the GoFund thing to reference is in that song as part of what demonstrates it – but that angle is well defined on www.babytosh/campus. The dvar Torahs are also part of what demonstrates it. And the stam a zoy set of Jewish writers demonstrates it.

we have the tools like we can also give the tools to the salesman or someone you elect. But I shouldn't be the one doing it. I can be called in to talk about things from my perspective / for my part

You can highlight points to point out what you've done as well to get the load taken off you. But I'm giving you the tools. It shouldn't be me.

I'm also going to give you people to contact all the time as I go along BezH’ esp after Charleston.

But you or the person you elect has to be ready with what they want to share – Id say the /campus page and the sales and marketing needs pages, along with the web site in general.

You can also reference the well crafted GoFund letter from before for what to say

Im so excited about delivering the next Operetta run the way Ive worked on it - Ive done such an upgrade

As you indicated on seeing the old GoFund info page I put together it needed honed etc - I am still to make said concise presentation to get funds for a salesman & some Geo marketing, but I have to concentrate on the show

I need past this plz

Hence the go fund / new financing should be in the hands of a trusted other, gleaning from all I have presented here to make his case as relevant to the particular recipient

BALTIMORE

Eli – Financial Director & Funding Structure

All funds go through Eli, who can process contributions as charitable donations via a registered charity.

TWO MAIN FINAL FUNDING NEEDS

Salesman Hire (Wages + Commission):
- This is the final piece of the business jigsaw.
- A trained, dedicated salesman is needed urgently to implement the existing tools, pursue leads, and close bookings at higher prices.
- The job: full-time focus on turning prospects into well-paid confirmed gigs, geographically concentrating efforts based on traction.
- This person is to act as “Alan’s employee”, using the @babytosh.com domain.
- I will only step in for high-stakes creative/artistic conversations. Otherwise, sales should not be handled by me.

WHY I’M NOT THE SALESMAN

The product and content are strong, and present confidently.
The product deserves a strong closer. I’m too close to the creative and delivery side to also push hard on the sale.
I also generate leads and start the conversation — but the final negotiation and sales follow-up require someone else.
The Loomly video drip is being received very positively — but a focused sales person could capitalize much more.
The www.babytosh.com/jobs page outlines the full scope of work and opportunity.

HIRING A SALESPERSON IS CRUCIAL

Even now, I’m working with leads in Charleston, Chicago, Atlanta (Foxes helping there), and planning shows like the J-Writers and the new Operetta run.
I’m juggling too much. Someone else needs to focus exclusively on:
- Following up existing leads.
- Targeting shuls, senior centers, Jewish orgs.
- Reaching out to piano stores (e.g., Fox Music, Hamilton Pianos), etc.
With proper direction and tools, a professional salesperson can make this exponentially bigger than I can alone.

Three-month trial @ $30–$50/hour
Let’s see the ROI. Then we decide how to continue.

GOFUNDME / COMMUNITY FUNDING

You and/or the salesperson (not me!) should take ownership of presenting this.

The GoFundMe pitch should reference:

www.babytosh.com/campus — The Jewish pride & kiruv mission (Dvar Torahs, Jewish Writers, etc.)
Sales & Marketing Needs Page — Clear and concise.
The well-crafted GoFund letter from before (to be re-used or adapted).
The exceptional tools, media, and planning already in place.
My part: available to speak or answer follow-ups. But not to lead.

PRESENTATION TARGETS FOR FUNDING:

Eli / Salesperson to reach out to:

Rabbi Tendler – Tie in Rav Sacks material and kiruv mission.
Daniel Fox (Charleston) – Involved in post-gig support, part of GoFund team.
Daniel & Libby – Key Charleston contacts with access to high-net-worth individuals.
Monsey Presentation Group – Including Markowitz.
Yitzy & Yaell Hertz – Especially for campus kiruv angle.
Mr. Snider – Via Hershele (sales/marketing support).
Lawyer met at Pita Place – Potential supporter.
Rav Zimmerman
Moishy Feldman (London)
Kirshtein (Charleston)

BALTIMORE STRATEGY

To be discussed separately with Eli.

NEXT STEPS

Eli (or a chosen rep) to finalize the GoFundMe content using this summary + linked resources.
Begin personal outreach to contacts listed.
Put Daniel Fox on the GoFund team.
Hire or trial a full-time salesperson immediately.
Review www.babytosh.com/jobs together — it's the launchpad.
