Directors - I have uploaded a sample newsletter called "Cluster Connection" to the newsletters tab. Would love your feedback on whether this might be something that would serve your needs. Bear in mind that I had to keep it VERY generic in order to write for the needs of the masses. You may want something more or le...ss, but please let me know if this is something you would find easy to alter for your needs. Thanks!
 
L-O-V-E it! One small thing, since we are changing from the name "cluster" to the word "team" starting in March, maybe cluster connections isn't the right name for it? just a thought. i can't wait to start using it!!!!

hi tracie, welcome to chef success! joy has her own section called tasty tidbits because she creates wonderful newsletters and flyers over at her website http://www.tastytidbits.net - the cluster newsletter she spoke of is listed over there on her site - well worth it to check them out!
 
I like it (even though I'm not a Director). It is great for an email that's just recognition.One of the things I like in the one my D currently forwards to me, is that there is usually some sort of a business boosting article in it. Whether it be motivating, ideas for booking, etc. It also covers the current promotions. But that's going a bit beyond just recognition.
 
love it! I have never used your newsletters and just signed up for a trial to see this. I've been looking for something like this as I am trying to save time and I didn't want to eliminate my team newsletter from my routine.

My current thoughts are that I would do 2 emails/month - the first one is the sample I loaded... it's mainly for recognition purposes. The 2nd would be mid-month and have some sort of business boost/motivational type of content. However, since I'm not an active director, I wouldn't be able to give real personal coaching tips... just pull together stuff that I can find and it might be redundant... would that be annoying?

I used to do one called Cluster Connections so that's what I used for this sample... I am still mulling over what to call it... or maybe I'll just call it Team Recognition and leave it up to each Director since they can make up something catchier using their name :)
 
I used to call mine "Team [my last name] Recognition Report" and got really great response from that.
 
I love it !!!! thanks so much
 
I love it! :) I'm not a director yet, but have 15 people on my team (so I'll finally promote with the new rules in March), so this is great for my "team".
