Weekly EXCLUSIVE information, ideas and inspiration on how to GUARANTEE your success
Workshops There is nothing more powerful for your business than properly run skill workshops! In a workshop, people will practice skills, discuss their concerns and explode their confidence.
What?
A workshop is people doing role-play of the key skills in Network Marketing; calling prospecting, presenting and getting decisions, coaching people. Where and how many? A workshop can be run anywhere and the best place is in the home. You can have 4, 6, or 8 people practicing in your home. Bigger workshops can be run anywhere. Edward has very successfully run a workshop for over 400 people who barely spoke English in a 2 day workshop yet this is not advisable. It is better to have smaller workshops run more often.
Who facilitates? Anyone can ‘facilitate’ a workshop. You don’t need to be a speaker. In fact, often those that are not confident speakers make the best workshop facilitators because they are great at nurturing people; women especially!
Normal Training Normal training in Network Marketing is a ‘trainer’ speaking from the front of the room and people sitting in rows copying down the information. Sometimes there is a demonstration of a skill. Often the speeches are motivating.
This is NOT how you learn skills and is thus a waste of time for 99% of people attending. This is just Numbers Game motivational speaking.
ALL training in Network Marketing must be based on workshops where people practice skills through role-play. People are spread around the room in pairs and facilitator is in the middle.
‘Events’ are NOT for training, they are for motivational reasons and it is vital that everyone attends them!
Learning workshops
Edward teaches people how to run a workshop at his TidalWave workshop.
There are also numerous people that have been professionally educated in running workshops; teachers, trainers and coaches. Whilst they need to adjust to a networking environment, they have the basic skills. Rather than the ‘leader’ providing the workshop, let a trained professional, no matter what level in the business.
