Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   Hello from Ohio.
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   Julie, where in Oregon do you live?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Lisa you get the felt mini background biz card samples
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Our first topic of the day is Strategic planning for 2008!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   It's a new year and a fresh start for everyone!
Message  Julie/OR  Team Training Room   Actually I live Vietnam right now but I'm from Portland
Message  Lisa/UT  Team Training Room   Thanks, sorry. I do remember now. I'll try and pay more attention.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Are you charged up to make 2008 GREAT???
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Sure am
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Have you set your goals???
Message  Andrea/NV  Team Training Room   yes!
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   yes
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Yes
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Do you have a plan on how you will accomplish them??
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   kind of
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Setting goals is actually the EASY part
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   The real work is making them happen RIGHT?
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Right
Message  Andrea/NV  Team Training Room   right!
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   right
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Did you know that one of the top reasons people don't reach their goals is due to poor time management???
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   That's true for me.
Message  Christina/CA  Team Training Room   I believe it!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   So we are going to talk a little about time strategies and leave you with some tools to help you be great in 2008!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Check this out:
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   One hour of planning will save 10 hours of doing.
Message  Andrea/NV  Team Training Room   WOW!!!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   The average person gets oneinterruption every 8 minutes or approximately 7 an hour, or 50-60 a day!
Message  Lisa/UT  Team Training Room   I read something yesterday that was talking about goal setting. It said that you should start every long term goal with at least one small goal that you can accomplish within 24 hours.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   The average interruption takes 5 minutes, totaling about 4 hours, or 50% of the average "work day"
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   80% of those interruptions are actually rated as "little value" or "no value" creating approximately 3 HOURS of wasted time per DAY
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   How can we avoid that?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   a person with a 'messy' or cluttered desk spends on average 1/5 hours a day looking for things or being distracted by things
Message  Christina/CA  Team Training Room   you have us all on the edge of our seats
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   this equals 7.5 hours a WEEK
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   out of sight out of mind - when it's in sight its INmind
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   here is a concept that blew me away
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Time Management is an issue of integrity.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   think about it
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   I agree
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Any time you move away from the standards you set for yourself, you are out of integrity with yourself
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   whether through action, reaction or non action
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   the next time you have an issue with a task or a goal you set for yourself, ask yourself a simple question
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   I need to set the standards in the first place.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   am i 'in integrity' by not doing this or by ignoring it?'
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   well the first thing to do is
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   to know how you spend your time
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   for 5 days, record what you do, write down every little thing all day you are awake
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   analyze where your time goes
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   this is an eye opener
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   discover your time robbers
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   here is a trick
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   on your wall calendar or planner book
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   I can do that in my daily planner book that has times in it.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   put a tiny square within every box on the calendar that stands for a 'work day' for you
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   make the box just big enough to write a #
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   let's say you've set a goal to book 4 parties a month
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   and to do that you feel you need to make 2 phone calls a day on your 'work day'
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   so at the end of the day, write the # of calls you MADE on each work day
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   the box is too small for excuses!!!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   just write the #
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   hold yourself ACCOUNTABLE for your actions, then you will be in integrity with yourself
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   that will help hold us accountable
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   imagine what will happen if you follow through EVERY DAY if you talk to 2 people about your business every day IMAGINE what will happen to your business
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   I need to do that! I've been slacking
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   whether they say YEs or NO or not now or whatever just IMAGINE over time if you talked to 2 people every day you SAID you are going to
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   That makes it sound less overwhelming.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you can do this for any goal
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   BUT
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   business wise, focus on INCOME producing activities
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   your time should be spent 80% on income producing activities and 20% on non income producing activities
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   what are some income producing activities you can think of?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i'll give an example
Message  Rachel/TX  Team Training Room   booking
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   hostess coaching phone call
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   booking call
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   good rachel what else
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   networking with people
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   register for an event
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   not the registration but the BEING there is income producing
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   get hostess packets ready
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   no
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   DOING the party is though
Message  Rachel/TX  Team Training Room   after party customer calls, upsell, book
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   calling someone to book a party
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   getting the packets ready does not produce the income, doing the party does though
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   right customer service calls great
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   even follow up emails can produce income
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   it has to be something that involves SEEING or TALKING to people
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   80% of your "work time" should be spent SEEING or TALKING to people
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   sounds like you mean activities that involve other people
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   visiting schools day cares, etc
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   that isn't to say that the paperwork isnt IMPORTANT it is we have to do it
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   but it will not result in income
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   but we need the business before we can do the paper work
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   but spend 20% of your time on the paperwork part
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   do not spend all your time getting ready to get ready or you will end up with a bunch of paperwork and no income!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Think about the tasks that need to be done daily
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Schedule and PLAN your time
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   group like activities togther, you'll be more efficient
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   if you know you are "on" in the morning, schedule your "people" tasks then
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   if you are dragging in the afternoon, schedule your "paper" tasks then
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   do important tasks when you are y our personal best
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   then PLAN for tomorrow - every day
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   make a list, knowing where you're going
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   also know your weaknesses and manage your time robbers
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   so here are some Qs to get you thinking about this next year
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i posted these on my blog and shared on the yahoogroup the other day but i am picking out some of my favorites
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you can see all of them at http://www.karen-clark.com
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   under 'training'
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   think about this
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   What advice would you give yourself in 2008?
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Talk about my business more often
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   What are you most committed to changing and improving in 2008?
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   stop thinking and start acting
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   dive in and don't listen to the fear
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   what one word would you like to have as a theme for 2008?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   thats great mary
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   here's the thing
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   doing more parties
Message  Awnya/AZ  Team Training Room   prosperity
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   honestly, even brand new people "know" how to do the business
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   it's a matter of committing to doing it, and doing it
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you can ask questions till you are blue in the face, read the manual a bazillion times, come to all the trainings
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   my word will be Engaging
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   but none of that helps until you put it into action
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   Karen I think it's fear of rejection holding us back (or me at least) I need to get over that
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i totally understand that, sometimes you have to just dive in and work through it by doing it! face your fears!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   just do the little square in your calendar trick
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   even shoot for 1
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   if you arent talking to ANY people start with shooting for 1 a day
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   so you can put that 1 in that square!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   if you do it every day for a week reward yourself!
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   yeah I think I am going to do that little square, makes it less intimidating!
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   I think I will start with one a day, so I can be successful right away
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i think thats a great idea!
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   kind of like weight loss lol
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   ending with this question
Message  Lisa/UT  Team Training Room   A good friend of mine always says that the difference between people who are successful and those who aren't is that successful people do the things that failures don't like to do. If a failure isn't willing to put themselves in positions of being rejected... Then the only way to success, is put yourself in the position of getting rejected... it will lead to some yeses and... success.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   what major indulgence are you willing to experience in 2008???
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   exactly lisa, the only difference is the successful ones KEPT GOING
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   Lisa I agree! I like that 100 Nos idea...I need to do that too
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   OK ladies it is time for our door prize drawing and for me to make sure I have everyone in the drawing box!!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   3 minute break then we are back in action!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   I'm here!
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   great advice
Message  Lisa/UT  Team Training Room   exactly, becuase a failure would quit, so to be successful, you have to keep setting new goals and keeping them.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   is there anyone here who was not a Yes on the Evite rsvp??
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   I filled out the drawing form last night before I went to bed so I could be prepared...so I don't need to fill out one this morning right?
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   You put me on didn't you?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   the way i am doing the drawings is i printed the list and cut them apart, if you RSVP you got 2 entries, everyone else who comes in i will write on slips
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   no that is fine christina

Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   Congrats, Lois! Sorry my computer is a mess lately!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i highly encourage you all to go to BIG training like the DSWA convention for more intense training on these topics :)
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   Snippets are nice Karen
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   The next topic is building a team!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   this is an area that intimidates people sometimes
Message  Joy/Ut  Team Training Room   Yes Jennifer I should be at your meeting. I will invite my team
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   or they think it isn't really necessary so i am not going to recruit, i like just selling
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   Great
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   but how many of you feel like story time felts has enriched your life in some way
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   ME
Message  Andrea/NV  Team Training Room   me
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   me
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Me, definitely!
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   I want to build a team
Message  Lois/NC  Team Training Room   Yes
Message  Julie/OR  Team Training Room   me too!
Message  EveLeCheminant  Team Training Room   yes!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   when you do not 'recruit' it is like keeping that opportunity all to yourself
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   this business is a blessing in our lives
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   and blessings should be shared! imagine if OTHERS had this
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   I want to teach others about STF
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   how wonderful it would be
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   a lot of us have this burning desire to grow our business
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   but the gap between where you are today and that vision of true success
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   is filled with members yet to be recruited
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   yes - its' enriched my life! (I was getting some cereal :)
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   building a team is SO rewarding for yoy and for them
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   thanks deana i knew it had hehe
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Usually it's the initial investment that scares people off
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   pehaps you are uncomfortable with sponsoring becuase you feel you need to be aggressive to succeed
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   actually
Message  Lori/UT  Team Training Room   or your worried about being a leader
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   if they knew they could succeed the $ wouldnt scare them
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   at the other end of the spectrum
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   I'm intimidated by the time demand b/c I work full time, but I should just start with doing parties and focus on that, and don't worry about future things (which will overwhelm me and hold me back).
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   maybe you are the type that approaches recruiting with pushiness that alienates people
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Look at it this way, if you don't know the answer, you can always find out from our group here
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   true success when sponsoring comes when
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you see the process as an opportunity to connect and serve
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   I have made $10,000 in this business in 5 years - the initial investment is really nothing!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   rather than an obligation to share and convince
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   exactly deana
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   we have talked in chats and elsehwere about principle centered sponsoring
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i will just briefly touch on it here but look into it deeper, it is wonderful
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   Did you know that the DSWA extended the offer for the free PCS course if you register by tonight?
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   for the convention
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   when you learn the concepts of that, any tendency to be overly tentative OR intense naturally disappears
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   YES i thought it was by the 9th
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   check the website if you havent yet registered
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   Maybe, I can't remember exactly
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   so thikn about sponsoring as connecting with someone
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   and they will be ATTRACTED to your opportunity
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   sponsoring involves the person you are being and your ability to connect with others - plain and simple
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   we all have our own styles there is no "wrong" way to connect, but you need to connect!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   it will evolve for you over time
Message  Joy/Ut  Team Training Room   Loving your product and business helps in recruiting. I love the friends I have made.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you will need to build rapport with prospects by integrating the 5 principles into your every day business activities
Message  Lori/UT  Team Training Room   me too Joy, love all of you!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   principles = trust, respect, service, integrity, authenticity
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Karen, I like the way that you are so helpful and supportive and not pushy.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   vicki what i want you to do is duplicate that
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   thats all there is to it!
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   I am going to try to connect better with each hostess for a start so she will want to join my team!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   LOL ok maybe a little more but BE someone people want to do business with
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   That's my style any way, not pushy but I like to be helpful
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   the 5 steps of principle centered sponsoring will give yo ua framework to use
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   That a good idea Deana about the hostess
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   if you are working your business consistently you wil be meeting people all the time
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   make connections with them
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   The #1 fear in our business is pushy people - both ways, don't you think?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   in a way that is ENGAGING not manipulating
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   I think so.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   DISCOVERING not convincing
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   FOLLOWING not directing
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   and BEING not doing
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i agree deana but the funny thing is usually the people worried about that couldnt be pushy if you PAID them to, people think they need to be something they arent there is a perception that you need to be 'more' than you already are
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   when being YOU is the KEY!!!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   so here are some 'what not to do's' for building a team
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   true!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   #1
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   do not rely on scripted verbiage
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   For sure!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   this is not respectful to the person, taking their situation into account or their needs or their why
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   It is so true, when you show them who you are sincerely, they are attracted.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   sometimes a script can help you get started
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   but do not focus more energy on the words than the PERSON you are talkikng to
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   as you begin talking to people about the opportuinty you will become more confident in your ability to connect, assess, and share yourbusiness becuase it is a natural desire to serve others
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   #2 not to do:
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   do not talk so much that you cannot see that your prospect is simply not engaged!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Less is more
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   let them lead the way
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   prospects usually have unspoken questions
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   hovering around while you are talking
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   What do you mean by that?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   when you are SO intent on sharing why you love the company or product or oppty you may fail to notice the impact your self centered rambling may be having on your prospect!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   like they just want to know are there prizes?? and you are talking on and on about the compensation plan
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   or not interacting with them
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   Don't tell them about something they don't care that much about - listen to what they are concerned about and answer that.
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Okay
Message  EveLeCheminant  Team Training Room   Sometimes you only know what they're interested in is if you ASK and LISTEN rather than mindread.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   while they are listening to you they are thinking and hoping to find a glimmer of just how the business might address some of what they need in life
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   and they are YEARNING to feel understood and listened to and respected
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   so don't make it all about you and your agenda
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   asking and listening is EXCELLENT!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   #3 what not to do
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   too much discussion of the company and products and not enough discussion of them and their needs
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   this blows me away: the biggest deciding factor in joining your company is YOU
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   whle you are sharing details of the people product and plan they are ACTUALLY asking themselves
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   is this someone i can do business with?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   can i trust this person?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   do they have my best interest at heart?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   can they help me make money doing this?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   is this going to be fun?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   will they find the answers if they dont have them?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   and more importantly, do they care about me?
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Will they follow through and do what they say they will do?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   this isnt to say alllllll the details arent important
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   they ARE but wait till they ASK
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   exactly vicki
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   #4 what not to do
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   dont ASSUME you understand their "why"
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Sometimes I want to give them too much information all at once.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   if you are talking more than them you will probably not uncover their true "why" they are considering it in the first place!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   vicki we have all done that! we get excited! its time to slow it down and focus on them
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you can talk them right out of joining by not addressing their true why
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   That's a good lesson to learn.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   if what they really want is enough to make their car payment and you are going on and on about the cruise or the free felt or whatever, you miss the boat
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   the trick is to uncover their emotional why
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you can do this by asking good questions
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   there is a handout called heart centered questions, it is great i can share it later i think it is already in one of the files area
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   but last what not to do

Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   LAUGH

Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   make mistakes
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   tell them you are new
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   but that you love this so much you cant wait to 'know it all' before sharing
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   be yourself and someone that others will want to be around

Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   see deana you are growing and growing and the names are just out there and it really gets unmanageable doesnt it
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Rochelle, I'm glad to see you hear,hello!

Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   LOL!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i am just 1 step ahead of you so i knoooooowwwww
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   and then after that comes the guilt
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   because again its an issue of integrity when you have contacts they expect to be followed up with and when you dont y ou arent supporting your value of doing what you say you wil
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   SO we have a solution!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   this session is kind of a little commercial for the new File It Pro system
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   I have it in my hot little hands and just wanted to describe it more in detail for you
Message  Rebecca/UT  Team Training Room   I can't wait to learn about it
Message  Christina/CA  Team Training Room   canyou use that for PCs too?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   it is going to be an answer to your prayers
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   I think it's paper
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   christina it is PAPER
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   lol
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   not on the computer
Message  Christina/CA  Team Training Room   oh yippee!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   this is what is so wild about this
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you all know i do so much on the computer but THIS is one of those areas where 'classic' is better
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   ok there is a company called File It Pro who was at the last DSWA convention as a vendor
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   they said they will CUSTOM create a system for any company who asks - for free
Message  Awnya/AZ  Team Training Room   do you have their link karen?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   so i listened to her and watched her show people how to use this and i almost cried right there
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   http://www.fileit-pro.com
Message  Awnya/AZ  Team Training Room   Thanks!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   these people are willing to come talk to US at the DSWA convention in April for a little bit to show us hands ON how to use the system!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   so those of you going to DSWA will be in for a treat!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Awesome!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   basically what it is, is a system of file cards
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   there are dividers by ABCs and by 123s
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   it is a tracking tool and contact management system
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   the cards are small enough to fit into a box you can take with you places or store on a shelf and pull down as needed so you dont have to have a big file cabinet
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   and it is affordable
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   the whole starter pack is only $35
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i am going to describe the cards WE had made just for us
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   And does that include everything you need?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   yes except for leadership cards
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   the packs of cards are only $4.25
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   its awesome
Message  Raechel/AZ  Team Training Room   what exactly do the cards say??
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   so what you do is you have a customer history folder that when folded is the size of the cards
Message  Raechel/AZ  Team Training Room   am i jumping ahead? LOL
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   and you put that customers cards in there and file those by abc
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   yes just a sec !! lol
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   then you also have team cards where you can record things about your team
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you can record when you contacted people and what happened as a result
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you can then put their card by the # of the date you need to contact them next
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   there are month dividers
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   ok let me tell you about these cards
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   customer profile card - you cant really see on the website what all it says but this is the GEM of the whole system i think
Message  Christina/CA  Team Training Room   so would you have a person under ABC and they would also be under 123?
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   Hi Susie - we're talking about File it Pro
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you have this card and you create one for either every customer or maybe just hostesses or maybe 'good customers' whatever you want
Message  Susie/NY  Team Training Room   Hi all, sorry I'm late
Message  Susie/NY  Team Training Room   Great! I already ordered it
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   christina you could! if you need to follow up with them you put them in the month to do that
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   I don't think I would use it for every customer
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   HI Susie
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   Some don't really want to ever hear from you again
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i wouldnt either but if you dont have a lot you may want to
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   Definitely the people who say they want to order more in the future
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   right
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   OK well check this out
Message  Christina/CA  Team Training Room   oic
Message  Rachel/TX  Team Training Room   Karen, what are the card dimensions, can't find it on the site anywhere
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   the card has contact info, and then where you met them
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   8.5 x 5
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   Like the people who actually click on stuff on your newsletter and you know you should really call them.
Message  Rachel/TX  Team Training Room   thanks
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   then there are blanks for their kids names and birthdates
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   and a line for if they are a teacher or childcare provider to put the grade or age range!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you can have THEM fill this out by the way
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   there is a check list on the right that says
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   My Areas of Interest Are (check all that apply)
Message  Christina/CA  Team Training Room   so kind of like drawing cards only not?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   parent, grandparent/relative, teacher, preschool, kindergarten, elementary, after school program, in home childcare, chilcare center, homeschool, scounting/kids clubs, special needs (home or school), library (public or school), religious ed (home or church or lds), home based biz, or other
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   Maybe we could even tell people at parties if they want to be a "Preferred Customer" they can fill out a form or something.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   that would be perfect deana
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   then UNDER that there is a place that says Tell Me More ABout:
Message  Awnya/AZ  Team Training Room   Didn't they have a catalog holder too? I'm not seeing that on the site.
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   I've done that
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   hosting a party, school demonstration, staff training, story times, fundraisers, biz opp, leadership, felt of the month, discounted products and a blank
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   awnya it is under the other biz tools somewhere on there
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   It works pretty good. Then I have info for those that I know want to be contacted
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   the back of this card is blank so you can also add other notes later
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   so that is the customer profile card and THEN
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   I do love to add personal notes - it helps mem remember people better.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   there is a lead contact record
Message  Awnya/AZ  Team Training Room   ok, thanks...sorry if I'm off topic a little...
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   What is that like?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   on this is all the contact info again best time to call etc
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   place you first met them
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   and a list for the date action type and notes
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   there are codes for telephone, voice mail, in person, email or mail
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   so you record what happened when you called
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   if you want to call them back in 30 days you put it in the next month's file
Message  Susie/NY  Team Training Room   The Boosters has the customer care/preferred customer, and hostess cards that are similar too
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   So maybe our first treat for spending 80% of our work week in contacting people is playing with this new system!
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   Those are the ones I've used
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   right deana that would be your 20% LOL
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   ok THEN
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   there is a PARTY information record card
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   this is where you record allll the info about a party and check off what you've done hostess coaching wise
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   there is info for her contact info
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   a place to write your mileage
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   a place to put total sales
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   a place to put what you gave as a hostess gift and door prizes and what their value is (great for tax time)
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   a place to put directions to the party
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   This sounds like a great business management tool.

Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   if children are attending and how many
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   what the hostess' goals are

Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   They are ready RIGHT NOW

Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   lol
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   I thought they wouldn't be ready until you see it at the convention.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   OK Take it away Rachelle!!!
Message  Rebecca/UT  Team Training Room   I am looking at them online right now you could order it today
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   no they are just showing us in person there if we want training on it
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Got it.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   :)
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   One of the things I wanted to talk about with selling is to approach it differently
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Instead of SELLING people something, create a need
Message  Susie/NY  Team Training Room   I looked at them as soon as I read it in the newsletter. It went on my Christmas list but Santa didn't bring it so I just bought the set
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Ask, how many of you have hoped for something to keep your kids entertained without having to use the TV or another electronic device? Story Time Felts is a wonderful tool just for this.
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   At your parties when you are talking about products it's wonderful to have some kind of teaser statement like this
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Then give them a personal example. Mine is: I was cleaning the bathroom and turned around and there was my two year old Maggie with a toggle book. She had pulled it out all by herself and was looking at it, entertaining herself.
Message  Rebecca/UT  Team Training Room   I also use wouldn't you like something that would keep you kids entertained in the car on long drives and/or when they need to be quiet
Message  Rebecca/UT  Team Training Room   or play quietly
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   It was such a rewarding thing for me to see my child wanting the felt herself and using it by herself.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   oh that is cute
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Yes, Rebecca
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   I think it's important to emphasize that parents need to play with the felt with their kids first and show them how and then they will naturally want to use it
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Face it, electronic gaming and TV are big sellers and we have to show people a way that their child can have success playing with something else
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Whenever you can use your own personal examples it adds to the sincerity of your selling presentation. If you don’Äôt have any, then take your felt by some kids and make some.
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Give them different ideas of how to use the felt: practicing certain skills, alphabet practice, weather, of course with our products we can touch on almost any learning topic you can think up! :)
Message  Susie/NY  Team Training Room   you can always use one of our examples by saying "one of my friend's child ....
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   At my parties, I try and show one or two items from each category in our catalog and explain what it is and how to use it in a quick little blurb
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Good idea
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   The important thing with selling, is to keep it simple and short, you want to attract them not bore them
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   If you can educate them, they feel their time at the party was much better spent
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Try your best to get some felt into their hands, so they can really see, feel, and experience what you are selling
Message  rochelle/ID  Team Training Room   I have had wonderful experiences playing with my children using STF. They like to be read to (Grandma Favorites).
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Exactly Jen!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Last year, something I tried with hostesses was to ask them if they thought their friends would be interested in learning how to foster creativity and spark imagination in their children
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   See that's what we're looking for Rochelle :)
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   I'm a librarian; parents have come in wanting a book to make their kids get "imagination" because they fell short of that in the state testing. This is a perfect thing.
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   They test "imagination"?
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   I had no idea
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Of course, people are excited about learning ways to improve their child's thinking skills
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   It's somehow part of the reading comp test, I think. I'm not sure.
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   So, I have found a lot of success in the last year, with teaching instead of telling, showing instead of selling
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   The parties are way more fun too
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   If I can show them how the product works to teach their child they want to buy it and they do go away more excited about having attended the party
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   It's really neat to take quick facts from our literature and turn those into bonus questions, such as How many stomachs does a cow have? Anyone know this?
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   4
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Yes! They have four, the first 2 digest the initial grasses and the second 2 digest the cud, this is from the Granpa's Farm set
Message  Susie/NY  Team Training Room   that's a great idea....STF trivia pursuit
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Why does a shark always keep moving, even when it's asleep?
Message  Rachel/TX  Team Training Room   Oh, I like that, lots of fun
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader? :)
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   ???
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Using the literature reminds them that it comes with the product and they are getting so much more than just the product!
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   definitely!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Okay, you guys better look at your ocean set. A shark is cold-blooded so must keep moving to keep the blood moving through its body
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   oh thats cool
Message  Awnya/AZ  Team Training Room   that is cool
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   I need an ocean set =)
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Another great idea for selling is to pair the product with something else that we have
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i agree the literature makes it even more of a value
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   (it's fun in the bathtub christina!)
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   I bet it is Karen!
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   I NEVER thought of that!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   for example, you can sell the nursery rhyme set with a plain toggle book so they can take a few nursery rhymes with them in the car, church, doctor etc.
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Again, you are teaching them different ways to use the felt
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   so split up sets?
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   I also like to use quotes
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Great ideas
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   nevermind I missed a word in there. Whole set AND a plain toogle
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   I ask them if they know who said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge?"
Message  EveLeCheminant  Team Training Room   Rachelle, inspirational quotes?
Message  Wendy/UT  Team Training Room   Was it Albert Einstien?
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   yes, I use quotes that I've found from cereal boxes, books, child-rearing stuff, magazines etc.
Message  Susie/NY  Team Training Room   you need to show them how to pair things up, not just tell them about it
Message  roannepark  Team Training Room   Lori I made it. but can only be here for a few
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Yes, Albert Einstein!
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   yes, Wendy
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   After I give that quote, I ask them to really think about where we would be today without imagination
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Would we have lights, cars, internet, medical technology
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Then I tell them that as a nation our children's test scores are showing lower in the imagination department
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   That is a worry because the reason we are such a successful nation is because we have always created everything, invented so much (and China builds it), now that's starting to change
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   We need ways to enhance our children's imagination and keep those juices flowing and Story Time Felts is just the tool they need
Message  EveLeCheminant  Team Training Room   I was showing nursery rhymes and talked about Mary had a Little Lamb--sing the ABC song to this nursery rhyme tune and you'll improve a child's pronunciation and comprehension (and you won't get the "elemenope" cropping up).
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Good idea!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   I even offer some flyers/handouts to my customers
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   I have one on Children and television that I got from my upline when I first started.
Message  Rachel/TX  Team Training Room   Can you share those handouts?
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   It talks about the psychology of TV and people love to have something to take away with them
Message  Rebecca/UT  Team Training Room   If you are sharing I would love to have the handouts also
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   then you are quoting someone other than yourself so it is more convincing too
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Yes, I'm also working on another handout based on an article one of my hostesses gave me from a magazine called "Are you raising a TV addict?"
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   I'll work on getting some handouts to Karen and she can put them on the site
Message  Rachel/TX  Team Training Room   Thanks, awesome!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   What other selling questions do you have specifically?
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   I bet there is stuff online too
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   One thing I want you to remember is not to overcome objections, instead uncover a need.
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   how do you learn product pricing? Any tricks or ideas? I have noticed people expect me to know the prices
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   If someone says their kid is too old for this, don't argue with them, ask them what their child's interests are and then help them see.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   This should be called principle centered selling!!
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   And now they are changing
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Just repetition really.
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   It makes a big difference
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i dont know all the prices i just grab a catalog!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   but at my parties I have always played a game where on certain products I have them look up the page # in the catalog and then they tell me the price and how mmany stories are included etc.
Message  Rachel/TX  Team Training Room   get the other people at the party to help find the price. I like doing a catalog chase
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   that's what I've been doing Karen, but I think I need to remember more of them
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   nah
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   LOL
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   save brain room for other stuff
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Yeah, I like that Karen!
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   lol
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   also remember everything you do you want to be duplicable
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   If they ask and I don't know, I say, sorry I can't remember but it's around pg. whatever
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   don't waste my 20% on memorization huh?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   becuase your next team member is watching you
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   exactly!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   It's always okay to say "I don't know, but I can help you find out." on any question
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   use it remembering something about the people or their name LOL
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   good that's what I have been doing
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   jane with red hair loved the calendar jane with red hair loved the calender then you write it down in the car LOL
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Some other things that have helped with selling is again to help them forget you are selling something to them
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   People don't like to be sold to
Message  EveLeCheminant  Team Training Room   How much is it? "a GREAT value for the money in the Stories to Tell section of the catalog (for example)."
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Show them our neat scriptyre collections and help them reminisce about when they were learning Bible stories as a child, bring their childhood back to them and help them remember...
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   how neat it was to use their imagination
Message  Susie/NY  Team Training Room   you will get better with time...I still need to check on prices. I just say, let me check, I don't want to charge you too much!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   That's a good way to put it Susie
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   yeah I like that, thanks Susie!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i like that!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Do you gals have some other questions with selling?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   rachelle what are your top selling products
Message  EveLeCheminant  Team Training Room   Love it, Susie!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   it seems like there are as many answers for this as there are consultants LOL
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   I really wanted to have you change your fundamental belief about selling because it will revolutionize how you work
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   I sell tons of toggles and toggle collections
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   It really does make a difference
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   I also sell lots of Grandm'as Favorites
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i agree, it all comes back to service and putting them first
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   I've been doing this for about a year with my parties
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   They are so much more fun and the guests really seem to have a better time
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   One of my biggest sellers is the Book of Mormon Activity book because I put mine in a binder
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   I sell a lot of dolls too
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   I've sold more story board sets now too since I started telling a story and teaching them how to use it
Message  Wendy/UT  Team Training Room   How do you do the B of M activity book in a binder?
Message  Susie/NY  Team Training Room   I loved what you said in the beginning when you start your parties
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   I made JLM dolls for my girls for Christmas and had them early back in October when they were on sale and showed them at all my parties and got people interested in JLM and dolls
Message  ahansen  Team Training Room   I have had problems getting on and I am now on with Anna Marie Hansen...Lexi Hansen
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   Rachelle so if a customer orders a BOM quiet book do you have it shipped to you and you make a binder for them?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Hi Lexi! I saw y our name on there so I thought you were OK!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   BOM, I put each background in a sheet protector and then divide up the pieces in a bag and put it all in a binder, I also glue white felt in the binder. They can get it pre-cut but not assembled for only $26.99 from STF
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Did you just now get on? I am saving this so you will be able to read it later
Message  Susie/NY  Team Training Room   Thanks Karen, there are wonderful ideas here
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Let's Do A Drawing!!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   No, I make sure to tell them, this is just an idea, they must get their own binder, but I have made some up and sold them at my parties for $33 (I got binders at yard sales last year-brand new ones)
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Okay Happy selling everyone and remember that if you having fun and loving your products, other people will see that!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   3 minute break then we will have an open Q/A session - anything goes, we have a lot of venterans here as well as Lori
Message  ahansen  Team Training Room   I entered the drawing, but I had problems with Java and we couldn't get it to work. It was my fault I should have checked early, and this is the only time I didn't.
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   So true
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   the drawing for this session is your choice of either 10 catalogs or 25 of the new LDS Fliers
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   Thanks Rachelle, great idea!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Lexi, I had some troubles too, glad you're here
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   Are the new LDS fliers available?

Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   ahansen Andrea/NV Awnya/AZ Christina Deana/UT EveLeCheminant Heather/GA JenF/UT Joy/Ut JudyCA Karen/CA KarenH/MT Lisa/UT Lois/NC Lori/UT Mary/OH Nancy/NC Rachel/TX Rachelle/UT Raechel/AZ Rebecca/UT roannepark rochelle/ID sandramatthews Sharon/Can Susie/NY Vicki/IL Wendy/UT
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   oops that wasnt it LOL
Message  EveLeCheminant  Team Training Room   Photocopy some sequencing cards or coloring pages from a large set and pass those out with crayons after you demonstrate the large board--put the kids in another room to color the photocopies or at least out of range of your demo or the mothers get antsy.
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   Do you give them felt sets to play with to keep them occupied?
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   By registering for the convention you get the Sponsoring course for free
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   I bring a weather bear for the kids to play with and some other select items which I hand to them at the beginning to play with
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   http://www.mydswa.org/celebration_2008.asp <---DSWA Convention Information
Message  Rachel/TX  Team Training Room   I don't let the kids play with the felt out of my sight
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   thanks Karan
Message  Awnya/AZ  Team Training Room   Great! I can't wait!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   If you register by January 9 you get Principle Centered Sponsoring E-Course FREE this is 4 90 minute trainings, handouts and a monthly call you can go on!! it is AWESOME
Message  Awnya/AZ  Team Training Room   ;
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   I just let them use stuff that I can keep track of
Message  Susie/NY  Team Training Room   you might suggest or ask the hostess before hand if there is someone who could help with the kids during the show
Message  Rachel/TX  Team Training Room   exactly, I try to keep the felt in one room
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   Yes, in the room with you is good - you don't want to lose felt!
Message  Lori/UT  Team Training Room   sorry deana having trouble going into a newsletter, the answer is Item # 9104 LDS Flyer 25 Qty. $3.75
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Awnya - we haven't planned our STF part yet but it will be fun! :)
Message  EveLeCheminant  Team Training Room   Be EXTREMELY PICKY with what you give the kids to play with (don't let them choose unless it's between only two choices)--keep them easy to find if "lost" like Dress Me Bear or Calendar Set or depending on age Dinosaur set.
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   so those have prices too?
Message  Rachel/TX  Team Training Room   I love doing shows with kids, but there has to be an adult assigned to them. One time no one was watching and the hostess' kid cut her forehead open
Message  rochelle/ID  Team Training Room   My favorite STF to show with children are the figure puppets.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   by the way when you register it askss who referred you - if someone else talked you into it put them otherwise put me! :)
Message  Lori/UT  Team Training Room   not yet
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   Thanks for these ideas; there are things I hadn't thought of.

Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   You might over time. You are a great cheerleader for them

Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   I put you down when I registered for the PCS course too
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   they know i love them but this is proof!!! lol
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   oh goodie!!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Oh cool! Rochelle, I didn't know you signed up. Did you sign up for just Saturday?
Message  EveLeCheminant  Team Training Room   I've noticed that if you spend "too long" doing storytime for the kids (RELATIVE DEFINITION OF TOO LONG) then the adults start yacking.
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   I really think it said you get something for people putting your name down
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   We are all riding together from here in Utah and sharing rooms together if you want
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   oh funny i wasnt even paying attention jen i havent even registered myself yet becuase chapter presidents get a discount and they told me to wait till i get my 2007 #s
Message  rochelle/ID  Team Training Room   No, I did not sign for the trip. I cannot attend. I just signed up to receive the newsletters.
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   eve sometimes yacking isn't bad. They might be discussing what they are going to buy =)
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Oh, I see what you mean. That's good though too :)
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i get $1 off for every chapter meeting attendee from july to december, thats how i am going to pay for greg to come or part of his
Message  EveLeCheminant  Team Training Room   Rachel/TX--Eve is in Spring (NW Houston) Happy to meet you!
Message  EveLeCheminant  Team Training Room   Christina, not in my experience.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   any other questions about the business?
Message  Rebecca/UT  Team Training Room   what exactly is the date in April?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   do we have anyone here who is not already a consultant??
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   april 18-20
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   Eve I guess it all depends. I have done about 3 stories and that seems fine
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you can come for all or part, its up to you
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   I've never done a party, but bought the starter set.
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   I know some of us are only doing Saturday
Message  Rachel/TX  Team Training Room   My husband lived in Spring for a while.
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   Welcome Mary!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   one thing that helps keep the moms involved is to let them hold pieces too along with the kids or ask them to help their kids participate
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   thanks.
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   Rachelle, are you doing the whole thing or just Saturday?
Message  EveLeCheminant  Team Training Room   Welcome, Mary!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   mary coming today was a very wise decision :)
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   those who SHOW up, GO up :)
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   I agree. I got very inspired.
Message  Lori/UT  Team Training Room   I like that Karen
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   I'm going to book a party today.
Message  Rachel/TX  Team Training Room   I've always wanted to give each mom a different piece and do a continuous story, but I've never risked it. Anyone tried that?
Message  Lori/UT  Team Training Room   YAY Mary
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i love your attitude mary!!
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   Karen I liked what you did at my party.....after the stories were done you quickly asked for the drawing cards so you could do a drawing and while waiting for them you wrapped up and that brought their attention back to the felt and got them ready for the ordering part
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   I am changing it to just Saturday
Message  Lois/NC  Team Training Room   Great Mary!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   But it goes so late on Saturday that we would still need the hotel
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   Oh good, that's what I'm doing too
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   Yeah, I figured we'd be driving home on Sunday
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i think one of the keys is to keep the whole demo in general pretty short - fast and furious!
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   We're looking at two nights right?
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   I think the principle centered approach really hooks me.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i dont go more than 30 minutes of sitting and listening overall
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   yes, 2 nights
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   Rachel I think that would work out well because they would have to listen and pay attention but I'd only do it once and do some without mom participation
Message  Rebecca/UT  Team Training Room   what time are you leaving on Friday Rachelle
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   mary it is actually kind of revolutionary in business if you think about it!!
Message  Rebecca/UT  Team Training Room   joy are you going to convention?
Message  Lori/UT  Team Training Room   Here's a question...How many parties do you have booked in January?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   one of the very top sellers in avon, million dollar maven, was asked what is the key to her success
Message  Rachel/TX  Team Training Room   I've just been afraid that the moms wouldn't want to play along.
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   Who wants to spearhead booking the hotel?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   she said she worked more on who she was being than what she was doing
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i will never forget hearing her say that!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Rebecca, which Rebecca are you?
Message  Rebecca/UT  Team Training Room   Rebecca/UT
Message  Lori/UT  Team Training Room   and it's true Karen
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   two
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   I will be leaving whenever Lori says :) she is driving
