Registered for Conference -- Which Workshops Did You Choose?

[jwpamp]

I can't understand why they have Tammy Stanley again (not that she was bad, but been there done that)...so I chose the Team Recruiting and Promoting Director workshops.

Not too excited about the 'No' people again -- wish they would change things up every year. Need something new!

Also -- I didn't get anything off Conference, so it's full price for me this year -- yech!

I agree 100% with what you're saying Janice and I chose the exact same workshops!!!

 

[Inomiamenda]

I registered too. Hooray! I didn't see Tammy Stanley the first time so I am going to that one and also promoting director workshop as well.
Thankfully I earned it free.

 

[PCJenni]

I just registered... I liked Tammy Stanley as a speaker, did not regsiter for her class though. Also kind of "been there done that" with the Go For No people. I would rather have Tom Barrett back..

Oh and I agree with all about the go for no people. They were great, but I would love something new as well.

LOVED LOVED LOVED Tom Barrett.

Larry Winget would be awesome too but he might be too "in your face" for a lot of people's liking... but his philosophy is an ass-kicker and really good!!!

 

[quiverfull7]

I would totally love to hear Tom Barrett again!
I did sign up to hear Tammy Stanley again...I enjoy her energy and because I decided I would do one Team Training and one personal one... so it's Tammy and Promotion Pointers.

 

[Sheila]

I know NOTHING about any of them! How do I know which one I want to register for??? Do you guys get with your teams, divide up the seminars so someone takes each one & then train one another afterward?

 

[almondfarm]

I decided to register for the Tammy STanley one, just because all the others I am sure wil be available in a MP3 format again and then I also took the upper level director one.

I really miss having three workshops...

 

[dannyzmom]

I agree about the Go for No people...I found them to be a snoozer last year and am not looking forward to them again this year - . Tammy Stanley was GREAT but I already took her workshop...next?
I registered forromotion Pointers: Need-To-Know Strategies for Promoting Directors
and
Rapid Results for New ConsultantsI am pretty OK at recruiting -- but I need to work on TRAINING my people and getting them off to strong starts...

 

[baychef]

The usual "Debbie Downer" (aka me) disagrees this time! I see that the Go for No people are focusing more on leaders this year and I love Tammy Stanley. Again, I am in the minority, but I found Tom Barrett to be a snoozer. I actually got more excited about going because of their speaker line up.

I do agree that we do need to have some different speakers.

Although there were more than 2 workshops I would have loved to take, I found the selection to be limited in subjects.

 

[drammerbuhoy]

OK- i have a question! I just promoted to Director in April and was not qualified last month nor looking like I will hit it this month... so there is a good chance that by NC I will have demoted My team has fallen apart... so my question is, which workshops should I sign up for? Because if I am not an active director, I cannot take those right? Just not sure what to do?

This is exactly how I felt too. I'm excited to hear more from the Go For No couple focusing more on leadership...and I've never had a speaker who I learned more from and who changed my business more than Tammy Stanley. AND I also was not that into Tom Barrett. I honestly can't remember anything that he said.

 

[Chef Kearns]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't really care for the Go for No people. It seems really soon to re-visit speakers. Especially those two. I'd love to see Belinda Elsworth again. I just love her energy! I saw Ilene Mcekley here in SA and really enjoyed her presentation. She's a little mellow and might put some folks to sleep, but her message is awesome. Painting word pictures to increase sales. Classic! I know this is crazy, but one year I really think Warren Buffet should come and speak to us (at least the Director training portion).

 

[PCJenni]

I would LOVE to see Warren Buffet or Belinda Elsworth! So funny how one person takes so much from a speaker and other nothing. I loved Tom Barrett.. adn who was the otehr guy we had a few years ago. Both changed my business. Took not a lot from the Go For No Couple because I am no afraid of no and never have been

 

[quiverfull7]

Tony Allesandra!!!!!!!! He was fantastic.. I'm still using things we learned from him.

You are so right... I have enjoyed them all ... had already studies lots of the materials from Go For No before NC last year so I'm looking forward to deeper things hopefully from them. I was so touched by Tom Barrett and have gleaned and used volumes from his information and CD's. His little book... I'll have to get the title, helped me help my DH to understand the world and mind of Direct Sales for which I'll always be thankful and Tammy's energy is infectious. I'm just SO PUMPED to be at NC that I'm unwilling to think a negative thought... sorry... hope that doesn't drive you all beserk! I have 4 team members going and that's the most I've ever had go so I'm just SO thankful!!!

 

[BethCooks4U]

They did the Go For No for Leaders at the Executive Retreat and then our upline used some of it (with permission) at our retreat in March. It was very different than what they did last year at NC and was very good!

What I don't get is that now Conference is technically longer, but we get fewer workshops....I know people like to have time for 'fun' in Chicago, but seriously? In my opinion, this is a BUSINESS conference...just because we have fun in the process doesn't mean that it needs to be 'dumbed' down for those of us who are there to learn as much as possible. I'd be really honked off if I had to fly rather than ride the MegaBus in...I want my $$ worth.

I'll step off my soap box now.

Funny I just had this SAME conversation over dinner tonite with my AD. Hotel, airfare, meals and some spending money and all I want is to fill my brain with as much info as possible! I can stay up later if necessary to roam/have fun but throw in some more trainings with the greats of the company. If that's not possible, give us more recordings than just one from each topic. (And thankfully I got airfare at $254.00 as it was well over $300 and I'm sure many others paid much more.)

i agree completely!

 

[Sheila]

KCPChef - fix it! Don't just watch it disappear down the drain, do what you need to do to motivate and/or recruit so that you can maintain your status. Think WIDE and DEEP. You want way more than the bare minimum so you'll have a cushion if someone doesn't submit. ETA: Disregard! I just saw your other post saying that you were stressed by the Director status & don't care if you keep the title. In that case, register for the TL & above sessions.

Me neither, Becky!

I agree! If you want to see Chicago...then book an extra day by yourself and not have the entire conference set up that way. As it is, I will be taking the train and will be going back Friday night.

Always like Belinda, Karen Phelps is good and I have never seen Julie Ann Jones. I am sure there are more as well that would be good.

Tony Alessander was good and I also liked Jack Cantwell.

Probably getting back to the basics of recruiting to get fresh team members before the rest fade into the sunset. Don't give up...get energized! You did it once and you will do it again! If you feel your party schedule is strong then building your team again is a must!:chef:

 

[Nanisu]

I thought the Go for No people were a snoozer too. Didn't hear Tammy Stanley the last time.

 

[Sheila]

Okay, here's my 2 trainings:Top Recruiters Tell All 7/8/11 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Meet You at the Top! 7/8/11 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

 

[Inomiamenda]

I loved Belinda when I saw her in Denver. She does have amazing energy! I also really loved Jack Cantwell- he may be my all time favorite out of the speakers I have had the privilege to hear.
ITA on the comment about Chicago. Come earlier or stay later. Oy.

 

[PCJenni]

Jack Canfield, that is the other guy I was thinking of.
