:thumbup: Great additions to the list ladies! :D
 
Sheila,
I'm not participating in your step up program not because I don't want to but with timing and everything else in my life, I don't have time to. That being said, I love the fact that you are doing this! It really shows that you care about other people - I mean you aren't going to make money off of anyone promoting on here but you are still willing to help. I have been reading all the information posted on here, just cannot participate myself. I hope you don't mind but I love the idea on this thread and am going to email it my team. I have three brand new people who need so motivation!!

Awe, thanks. I'm a firm believer in what goes around, comes around. ;)

Yes, feel free to share the info. It's nothing top secret or even anything "new"! ;)

Of course! I challenged them to come up with their own ideas and send them back with a couple that they are going to try this week. We'll see who responds!
 
I dont know that this fits on the acronym but I have been trying really hard to look for the less obvious who are the people that I see or have the oppurtunity to see daily who I dont talk to. Here is what I have come up with.

The fedex guy who delivers my PC products
My mail man
The lady who sits in the booth at the parking garage where my husband works
Our church seceratary

You really would not believe how many oppurtunnites we pass up a day just cause we dont say hi

Thank you to Sheila for starting this training and thanks to everyone for sharing their ideas. What a great group of people to help each other succeed.

Hey did you guys know that you you can do go to the page with the recordings and you can download the call to your computer or ipod and then you can listen to it when you have time even if its months later
 
  • #13
Maybe I missed this - where are the recordings?
 
  • #13
You can access the first recording and all subsequent recordings here: Free Conference Call Services for Conference Calls - Free Conference Calling > in the white section, on the right hand side you'll see a button "listen to recordings" > click that button, complete your name, e-mail address and conference code 373283. You will then be able to listen to any conference calls that I've made public, which is just the one as of now but as we do the future sessions, you'll see those recordings pop up as well. It appears that the recordings are only good for 30 days. You can download them

Yes but I also have been on a similar thing with our HO sales director and even trying to remember to download the calls is too much. I'm mostly checking my email and stuff at work so when I get home I usually forget!

If you are going to play, e-mail me at [email protected] with your name & CS username. That way, I can add you to the list, you can post your goals, and actually join the group for accountability ... it's more of a motivator if you are reporting back ... you'll do better! ;)

Right now we have 94 participants! I'm trying to keep track of who all is playing that's why I didn't post the info on the forums - I'm sending it out by e-mail. ;)
 
  • #17
I would like to play - but cant make the 11PM calls- is it OK to do this with just the recordings? Also - I will try my best, but also have 2 other jobs o_O - some days are wicked crazy! Sheila - I will email you.

This one fits mostly just for military members, but Spouses Meetings are a great place to advertize yourself around here!
