Director Step up Your Business Training

[Malinda Klein]

I've decided to offer the SUYB training to my group and am wondering if I can get some advise from those who have done the training before. Years ago I did the training with my director and we met Saturday mornings. With todays' busy schedule i'm trying to see what works best:

1. Meeting weekly or every two weeks
2. Conference calls or actual meetings or both
3. Suggestions for what's worked for you in the past

Can you help me with the above? I just got back from Nancy Jo Ryan's retreat and am ready to offer this. At my meeting, I quized the group on their interest and received 7 replies (of the 12 people there) that they were interested in stepping it up! :clap:

So what do you think works best and any suggestions for me going into it? I'm reding over the paperwork on CC now to get familiar with it.

I've only done them over the phone with a conference call. My Director gives away something at the end of the training. When they become a champion player (complete all the tasks for the week) they get an entry into the drawing. It's an extra incentive to get them motivated to actually DO their homework assignments each week. Many will just do nothing between calls. Some will apply the knowledge later, but the ones who actually work the course are the ones who excel faster. I've found that when I brag on the ones who have been doing what they are supposed to do, it motivates them to keep going & sometimes motivates others who would prefer to do the lazy route to STEP UP and do something that they can brag about during our next call.

A lot of my classes are every 2 weeks vs weekly. Especially if there's several taking the class who also work full time. The ones who have another full time job can find it hard to get the assignments done in the allotted time frame. So the every-other-week schedule works best for them. The ones who are motivated to be on the short track to Director, prefer the weekly sessions.

Sheila are you doing any more SUYB training sessions?

I haven't done any recently. The military FINALLY delivered my furniture on Friday (I've waited 18.5 months for it) so I'm inundated with boxes & unpacking right now. I've had a few people asking, but just too busy to think about it right now. And coordinating them around the holidays is tough. People just can't participate as well. Thinking about doing one after the new year, but haven't set dates or announced it on CS yet.
