My exec. is coming to town at the end of this month. And she is bringing Amy Neal from HO with her. I have sent my team exactly 4 emails and 1 snail mail newsletter with this information requesting that they let me know either way if they can make the meetings....nothing. OK, I know we all whine about non attendance at meetings, but holy cow, this is a big deal and they can't even tell me no....ok, rant over. But I am P**sed off big time.

{{HUGS}}When you're feeling better, why not make individual calls and let them know how important this is?PS: I had a really low turnout when my NED came back in May and was super stressed out about it. She was really understanding and let me know that it happens... it's life. She said no matter what we would have an awesome time together and we did. Keep us posted!

Ok, so here's what I did. Over the past 6 months each and every one of them has said to me they want to do individual coaching. SO.....yesterday I sent out a letter to all of them via snail mail (to make sure they'd read it) saying we were starting coaching times and giving them 8 choices to choose from for their coaching, first come, first served. Put a post card in the envelope postage paid for them to mail back to me with their preferences. We'll see who actually returns them--I gave them a deadline of next week. Those that return them will be the ones I focus on. And during the coaching calls I will make sure to emphasize how much I need to have them RSVP to things. What do you think? I am trying to be positively pro active.

Good luck! I'm calling everyone today to see if they want to participate in the Step Up. I sent the e-mail that HO wrote with the words, "When you've completed the play sheet, let me know you're ready to play." Got an immediate response saying, "I'm ready!" I pointed out to her that she needed to complete the assignment. Haven't heard from her.Hoping I have some take me up on it... in reading the info it says to expect a few to do it. So we'll see....

What does "non RSVP responsive team" mean in the context of direct sales?
A "non RSVP responsive team" refers to a situation where team members do not respond to invitations or requests for confirmation regarding events, meetings, or activities. This lack of response can hinder team dynamics and planning, making it challenging to coordinate efforts effectively.
Why is it important for team members to RSVP?
RSVPing is crucial as it helps the team leader gauge attendance, plan resources, and ensure that everyone is on the same page. It fosters accountability and commitment among team members, which is essential for maintaining a productive and engaged team environment.
What can I do if my team is not responsive to RSVPs?
If your team is not responsive, consider reaching out individually to understand their reasons. You can also implement reminders, create a more engaging invitation process, or establish clear expectations regarding communication and participation in team activities.
How can I encourage my team to be more responsive?
Encouraging responsiveness can be achieved by fostering a positive team culture, emphasizing the importance of each member's input, and recognizing those who consistently engage. Additionally, making the RSVP process simple and straightforward can help increase participation.
What are the potential consequences of a non RSVP responsive team?
The consequences can include poor attendance at events, lack of collaboration, decreased morale, and ultimately, a decline in team performance. It can also lead to frustration for the team leader and create a disconnect among team members, impacting overall success.
