Director Outcome of My Retreat

[almondfarm]

I hosted a retreat for my team this past weekend... while I thought it was a huge success, I was disappointed in the number of consultants that did attend, but I know that it is the same with my meetings trying to get them to commit to a little time for their business.

I thought I would share our agenda, incase anyone was considering something like this. I used the 16 ways to increase show average from this board, and they LOVED that, but it took us about 2 1/2 hours, so we eliminated Tom Barrett and Learn to Fish from our training...

Thanks Lynette!
This is great.

I would love to have the attachments for the training too! If you can't attach them here will you email them?

 

[Sheila]

If the ones who did attend tell the others about it, maybe more will show up next year!

How many ended up coming?

 

[almondfarm]

I had 5 there and then another who came for supper and left...

 

[Sheila]

Not bad for a 1st time girl! Like I said, if they had fun, word WILL spread.

 

[drammerbuhoy]

I would love to see the training attachments too if you could email them that would be great! What a wonderful idea [email protected]

 

[almondfarm]

some of the things I will have to scan, I will go through my stuff in the next day or so and get to you what I can.

I used Christie Northup books, The Build It Big book from dswa, the book written by the founder of Tastefully Simple and a couple of trainings that I found online from conference, etc...

We did a retreat last fall and my D did the Jack Canfield Jelly Donut Training. Its a very good thought-provoking topic.

I think most always start small and as Sheila mentioned, as word spreads it will grow year after year. Congrats!
