2013 Brings us the Opportunity for New Growth and New Changes.
2012 was the year we wanted to use Final Friday for Education (Thank you Martin Brossman) - it was great BUT we have members who provide some of the best education in the 919 for Free or at a Tremendous Value - take their trainings.
So, 2013 will be about Connecting our Members.
We'll try a couple formats to see what works best to connect members and take the conversations & relationships back online where you can best help each other.
So, this Month will be about creating your Position Statement and every attendee will have a chance to stand up and introduce themselves.
But we're going to use our Positioning Statement rather than a Commercial or Elevator Pitch.
I'll take less than 15 minutes to share how this works (it's in the Referral Marketing Training) and then we'll spend the rest of the time getting to KNOW our fellow members a bit more.
We're also going to ask that if you want to bring a Guest that they first sign up to Inside919 as a Trial Member.
Yes, we want to grow the network but we also have limited seats and if someone goes to Inside919 and does not wish to try us free for 30 days - a missed Final Friday will not make a difference for them and we lose a seat.
We'll only have room for 60 people.

Those how attended Thanks!! - you helped me test out the new format which will really help in Feb, plus you actually got to "know" a couple people. Great start!!!

Comment by Pepper P Oldziey on January 25, 2013 at 12:16pm Hi Folks — It is already too treacherous with snow from where I am to drive there - so sorry to have to miss this for the weather.

Comment by Pat Howlett on January 25, 2013 at 9:06am See you at the 1st FFN of 2013 - want this to become something that launches a person into connected action for the following month.
There are only 11 of these a year.
