Who May Find This Useful

Consultants looking to explore different show styles and enhance their presentation techniques may find the shared experiences valuable.

I haven't actually watched the video, but I have listened to it in the car a few times. The one thing that struck me that last time I listened to it was when Jillian was giving recruiting information to someone. Can you imagine that person's face when they actually look at the info and realize that the person that just did the demo is ALL OVER the recruiting info?!?!?! That would make me soooo intimidated.
 
I just finally watched the rest of Teresa's. I'm not her, she's a little to dry for me. The last part of her show seemed to drag on and on and on... Oops, just feel asleep again. Now I just need to find time to watch the other two.
 
Katie...I thought about that too!

How do you think Jillian feels handing over a picture of herself? Not sure how I would react to that. But, it's a great "dilema" to have!! LOL

Someday!!!

However, I really didn't like her style of show. I've been trying to get guests involved for the last few months (before PC told me to... aren't I such the trendsetter?!?!?!:D ), but really liked how Jennifer does what I think is a happy-medium of Teresa's show, which felt like pure chaos to me and Jillian's show, which felt very boring.

Wow! If you thought Teresa's was dry, you better load up on caffeine for the other two!

:indif: Thanks for the warning! I finally got DH to hook up the extra DVD player in the bedroom so I finished watching it while I was folding laundry last night. Her 2nd part of the show just seemed so repetitive and drawn out. Figured I would start watching one of the others while I'm finishing laundry tonight.

I have got some great ideas from Teresa's so far.
 
Oops! Realized last night that I had been watching Jennifer not Teresa! AH! I started watching Teresa's show, I really like her's better but still think it looked a little chaotic. I have done my similar but I set up cards for people to follow the steps rather than just haphazardly doing everything. I'll have to finish watching hers and watch Jillian's.
 
I STILL haven't received mine!:cry: Calling and emailing don't seem to help. Odd b/c they are usually pretty quick!
