A few years ago, national conference did a skit where they had three consultants - one was upbeat, one was blah, and one was debbie downer. They did a part for sales, recruiting, asking for shows.

Does anyone have something like this in a file, most of my consultants are new and haven't done anything like this, so i thought it would be a fun thing to do over our christmas party.
 
In my scattered memory, that was something they did at the first Spring Launch. I could be wrong.

yes Spring Launch but sorry I don't have anything on it. Seems pretty easy to duplicate though!
 
Ha! That was Spring Launch and I got to go on-stage and play one of the "consultants". It was so fun!
