It sure is a great feeling to come up with a business opportunity that works. Realizing that a portable speed pitching booth could find a niche at all kinds of events and not just large fairs is a great accomplishment. However, it sometimes pales in comparison to helping those who buy my systems make the most of their modest investment. In fact, the biggest advantage of buying a speed pitching booth from The Mody Company is my open phone line to help you anytime you need assistance or advice. You probably at some point will need help with some of the following:
- Evaluating potential events
- Setting the proper pricing structure
- Working with written agreements
- Determining proper locations
- Hiring help
- Creating literature on your business
Onlookers are warmed from the scorching fastball heat!

Again, all these subjects are covered in the back issues my newsletter which, as you may know, is also published on this web site. However, I encourage great use of the phone, fax or E-Mail for unlimited personal assistance in answering all of your questions.

Before purchasing a Mody Company Speed Pitching Booth, you will need help in finding events and evaluating their potential. You will also need to know where to get reasonably priced insurance and other cost saving necessities like prizes and other supplies. The planning section of this web site covers more detail on all start up topics.
Once you've positively evaluated events you wish to attend you will need to understand the true negotiation & leverage you have in determining what you will pay the event for space. Flat fees or percentage of your booth take are the 2 main payment methods but there are ways to creatively combine them when you are uncomfortable with a promoters fees. Other factors like charging a dollar or two dollars to play seems to be a real conflict. Let me make the point right here that I firmly believe charging $2 for 5 trys is absolutely the best situation 90% of the time. However, you can also include a play all day price or special family rates.
The Pitch-A-Thon & Kick-A-Thon fundraisiers are also an original concept for youth sports leagues so you really have no competition in the market. If you begin to explore the fundraisers or your business needs require other literature, I also offer to pass along any printed material samples you may need. . I can even design a page for you on the Internet to help promote you locally and nationally. If you have already reviewed the Planning & Costs pages, now may be a good time stroll through the back issues of "Quarterly Strike", my newsletter and then feel free to contact me with an abundance of questions about this exciting opportunity.
