I'm scrambing right now!my meeting is tonight and the 2 kiddos are already out of school and the other has been having early dismissal. I am so not organized to do what I need to do and keep the 3 of them entertained and not fighting!
So far, this is what we are doing
Power Cooking Demo
Host Coaching (stressing importance of really keeping up with hosts during the summer months, especially for shows booked farther out)
recognition

I also have 2 potential recruits coming tonight to get a "behind the apron" look. Nothing like a little added pressure to my already scatterbrain!
 
I'm scrambing too Amy as I"m listening and taking notes from Leadership 08 Phone courage. I'll type them up soon and post them for everyone!
 
I'm stealing Anne's beach blanket bingo card too! That will be my challenge this month. I added:
taking a teleclass and sharing notes, preparing a recipe for July meeting, submitting 4 June shows, $100 in online INDIVIDUAL orders for June
 
we have decided to do Summer theme shows....

one consultant is demoing the Chicken Avocado salad
I will demo the Cold Stone show

we are going to use Anne's bingo card....gonna tweak it for July and August since June will be almost over when they get it.

I love the beach ball idea...



anyone else with ideas!!!????
 
Thanks Anne W.!!I gave out your bingo cards to my team members last night as their challenge for this month. they were excited.:D:D So, they will bring them back next month and we will award the prizes and do your beach ball training too!
Thanks again for sharing such a great idea!
 
I am doing The Consultant toolbox and then June Jeopardy ( thanks Kristie :))
We are having Ice Cream cake to celebrate "officially" becoming a team. A little recognition and check in on May goals and make them for June.
Should be fun!!
 
Ok so my BIG idea went down the tubes b/c we were on a tornado watch mind you I live in upstate NY where that NEVER happens....so schools were closed our computers @ work went down & I took off to get the kids & forgot to print off my agenda & the bingo cards ......the storm blew over & we did have our meeting but not like I wanted to next time I print stuff before the day of the meeting...............HUH!!!!

No problem, but I'm not the original creator. I just copied and pasted and added a few, little questions!
 
So......what is the Consultant toolbox, Kristi????
 
Kristie gave us all the June Jeopardy, that is what I thanked her for. FYI, the answer for the products in the New Consultant Kit is outdated. Double check it, you will see what I mean.
I actually think I may have gotten the idea for a consultant's toolbox from a teleclass, or one of the MP3's from leadership.
Basically it is an index card box with sections on Bookings, host coaching etc. and you brainstorm together so they have ideas and words to say. They can take it to meetings and even to shows if they want. They can use index cards to write down ideas they learn and it is all in one handy portable spot so when they are in a slump, or need some inspiration they can dive in and pull out tricks from some of the best. We did it tonight and it went great!
I had dividers made up for
Bookings
Opportunity
Customer Service
Conversation Starters
Host Coaching
Inspiration
&
Quick Tips.
I had little spinners and what ever # they landed on they had to ask for a tip from someone else on the subject.
Super Fun!
Great for conference :)
If you have any other questions please ask!

***Just an aside, I really love the girls I work with. 2 of them are not even on my team they are my sisters. The whole team gave me a huge bouquet of flowers last night and a little appetizer party :) and tonight my darling Denise said all kinds of nice things about me(shockingly I did not cry!) and they presented me with the most AWESOME Queen wine glass:)
I love my team!!***
Thanks
 
How Awesome! It shows that they've got your back!! Awesome job!!
 
a little late on the thread but my mtg is not until the 23rd..

I'm still working on my overall agenda, but we're going to DEMO and do the deluxe cheeseburger salad, and i like the idea of talking about great summer theme shows, and booking ideas for summer shows..
 
resurrecting this thread...I know all of you are going to NC, but since I am not, I am holding my own meeting and want to have the Red, White and Blue/Olympics theme....any suggestions???
