Conference

[Brenda K.]

Hi everyone, I have 7 consultants from my downline going to conference this year. I am so excited. My question for you is does anyone give anything or do anything special for the consultants that go to conference. Please let me know ASAP as I am on Wave I. Thank you. Brenda

hi Brenda, that's awesome!

I know Beth is doing a bunch for her peeps. My director was goign to make me a conference binder, but I told her not to bother.

This is a good one that was sent around last year. You could get it printed, 3 hole punch it and put it in binders for everyone.

I have done the conf binder thing too. I also include tissue, gum, pens, snacks, little things they my have forgotten or would just enjoy on the trip.

Great job getting so many team members to go!

I am working on a simple binder for my Consultants. I purchased the plastic folders with three prongs and pockets ($.60). I will add paper and some conference information. I am also going to include an inexpensive pencil pouch in it. That will hold mints, pen, pencil, some notecards, etc.

As each person made her decision to attend, I gave her a Vera Bradley bookcover with a notebook inside. I got them at a clearance sale so the whole thing cost $3.00 a piece.

Finally, I am going to treat them to lunch when we get in on Wednesday. Nothing expensive, but I would prefer to go to a restaurant that is not located in our own city.

That's what I do too. I've usually bought them something from the Director Store at Merrill and one night (usually that first night of conference) I take them out to dinner. This year I have 3 going, so that's managable.

But this year, my fellow director I do meetings with here and I are doing something fun. We've ordered customized M&Ms that will be packaged in little bags and will have imprinted on them "Dream Big, Achieve More" and will be a couple shades of blue (like the conference colors seem to be). I can't wait to see how they turn out!

Thank you for the great ideas. I will have to go shopping! I am going to take them out to dinner on Thursday night as a team! Brenda

I have 2 going but they are on fire so I'm happy it will be the 3 of us (and my mom... she's attending General Sessions and the Banquet and will do some SERIOUS shopping while we're at the workshops!)

What I'm doing is kind of recycling some stuff I have... I have 2 nice PC binders (they are different) that I never used so I bought new pads of paper for them, pens, highlighters and sticky notes. Each will get one.

The on the night of the banquet, I always buy raffle tickets for them and I have some leather PC bookmarks (I bought for a team incentive no one earned) that I will wrap and give to them that night.

Trying not to spend any more $$$ than I need to! ;)

I'm doing a goodie bag for my consultants. I'll attach the sheet I'm putting in it. I love the binder idea. I may just have to do that too :)

I've done them all a Binder with the a pencil pack in the front, National Conference Checklist, Conference Packet(the one that is floating around on here), Day1, note paper, Thursday 17th, Note paper,Friday 18th,note paper, Saturday 19th, note paper, National Conference 2008 Recognition Plan.

[~*~Chef Carri~*~]

OK, it said it's too big. How do I make it smaller??

my Director always gave us a scavenger hunt...it was something that would MAKE you go talk to other people. I will see if I can find it and post it if I can.


ETA:I can't find it~I think my Director has always made the notebooks. It was something you could easily make up:
Talk to a TPC achiever and get a tip
Talk to someone that has moved their business successfully
Talk to a Level 3 achiever and get a tip

.....you get the picture, right? It was always included in our nothebook and it was fun to do!

[DebbieJ]

Carri, can you post your CSI document?

[cookinkaren]

I would like to give my Team members this year something to keep up with all the receipts at NC for TAX time. ANY IDEAS FOR ME
Also, I always take them out 1 night for cheesecake.
