Share meeting outlines/training segments?How would you all feel about having a place on here where we can share our meeting notes/ training segment outlines/etc.

I find that each month, my AD and the other directors on our team are always scrambling to fgure out what to do for our meeting. Often we utilize what HO provides us in the CN...most of the time we use one or two of their training segments and then tailor one or two to our own needs.

We do something monthly that takes abtou 10 minutes. We call it the PIG (Prod. Info Guide) We have each consultant purchase a 5x8" spiral bound index card notebook. It's about $2.99-$3.29 at the office stores. We buy them up in bunches and then let the new team members buy them from us at the meeting for $3 if they need them. The 5x8 size fits right in our apron pocket. We then bring 3-5 diff products to each meeting and have the group holler our 3-5 FEATURES of the item (ie: Food Chopper: dishwasher safe, blades turn with each pump of the handle, 5 yr warranty, comes in New Cons Kit), a booking line (Host a show and you and your friends can see me use this FC to whip up some amazing Sizzling Coconut Shrimp Cakes) and a recruiting line (Do you have some debt you'd like to chop up this holiday season? Start a business with the PC and...)
While this is going on, the girls are all jotting on one card in their notebok all the info about the FC. Then we move onto anothe rtool, etc. Every month a few new tools...so the notebooks are filling up and we have a portable info guide so if someone asks a question at a show, we have itin our apron pocket if we need it.

Please share some notes from your meetings...maybe we can use each other's stuff?

Then, we are also going to give out some pill boxes (with slots for 7 days) with 3 regular M&M's and 1 Mega M&M in each of the slots. Then we will do training about 3-2-1 and tell them that everytime they make one of their 3 contacts each day they get to eat an M&M and if they discuss recruiting they get to eat the Mega M&M.

I have my meetings with another Director, she promoted in May and started having her own meetings in August. This will be the first meeting that I have a lot of input, so let me know what you think. We'll also have the obvious recognition too and we usually have everyone bring a recipe and share about why it would or wouldn't make a good demo.
 
I have the Medium Fridgesmart. It came with a set that I wanted and I already have one, so, I am looking to sale this one. It has never been used. It sales for $19.50.

Here's the link to see it: FridgeSmart® Containers

PM or Email me with you offer. All offers are plus shipping.

I have the whole set of Fridgesmart and I LOVE IT! It keeps fruit and vegetables fresh for weeks longer than normal storage in a zip lock bag. I keep grapes for weeks and it kept lettuce one time for a month without browning. The side of the container tells you how to do the vents for each fruit or vegetable.
 
Jen, did you get rid of it yet?
