So..... It's a one day event again? Big mistake... Nashville went from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm all in one day... very short breaks.... break it up into two days, give people more time to chill with teams, groups... party like it 1999, etc... I hate the 1 day blitz... people won't feel value enough to come down for just "one Day" and so they'll stay away. Look again at Nashville as the test... About 100 people showed up. Look at the last Orlando event... 400 people showed up and it was a 2 day event. If any of the BOD or Leadership Council has eyes to see, let them see. 2 Days will bring in more people. Do we have any hints at updates or speakers? Thanks.
Hey Jeff, As you know, in the past there were several segments of the 3 day event that got a bit snoozy. That Tom Goetschius guy was a quick invitation to go see the parks or have an extended lunch. One of the considerations given is for the folks who are part-time. A part time person who has a full time job might find it tough to get off of work, so leaving Sunday open allows them to either take off Friday or use Friday and Sunday as a travel day. The BOD did take out alot of fluff that was a part of the seminar in the past. We've got some GREAT trainers in our industry, but after you've seen Todd Falcone, Gary Coxe, or Doug Firebaugh 3 or 4 times...you've got a good handle on what they're about. Friday night there is a mixer that will take place...and you never know what surprises are around the corner. My personal vote is for more NEW training. I think it would be GREAT to have Dani Johnson come and train, but I know she's got a different model for her business. When it comes to these event the input of our team members is also considered. If you give people WAY too much - Many times they'll not apply the information. That's one of the reasons that Alex Mandossian how to apply what you learned training is so popular at the MEGA events Mark Victor Hansen does. Many of the Official Coastal Training calls are open calls and the BOD members who run them keep the call open for questions and suggestions. Jump in when you get a chance. Jay NaPier
