Fundraising - Hull
1 signup. Today was velentines day. I started the day well prepared. Hull seemed like a nice enough place, but there was a horrible stench in the air. Our team joked about the “hull smell”.
Around 5pm I approached a guy and ran my routine. Turns out I had been mystery shopped. He was the field ops manager, and had been at the job for 4 years. I took his advice with great sincerity. He told me that I didn’t seem to fully comes accross as somebody that believed in what they where talking about. I told him that I found it difficult as i have not seen what its really like to be homeless. He told me that everything I needed was in the training booklet. I couldn’t help but stare at his eyes. When he talked there was a real sense of depth to them, its rare that I see that in anybody. I told him about the fact that I didn’t like the idea of having to manipulate people into giving money away. He became incredibly defensive when I said this, using the words “well good luck to you mate.”. He then explained to me how actually everybody could easily afford what we were asking, and I agreed with what he was saying. I let him know that I had a few conflicts going on in my mind.
