Tony,
I would have to respectfully disagree - typing text is immensely slower then
even the worst Internet connection - and would not be a problem in that
format.
However,
I do agree that only the "three nearest" SC's should be involved - BUT -
when you think about that - the nearest "three" would also mean that you
would have to attend at least three meetings MINIMUM. The "three" outside
your original core three original SC's would still contact you to join the
"next further three" and so on.... so there would be overlap back on each SC
on either side...not good.
Ok - read that again - it does make sense ( to me anyway ) and it would
cause three meetings (or more) for each SC...
Hmmmm....guess we should think this through...
Bob - in the mean time I'll just e-mail my nearest SC's - HA!! - sorry for
all the trouble!!!
"Trouble Maker" Brad....

Coordinators List Update
Hello Everyone:
I'm new to the discussion, but if any of you have had the "benefit" of
attending an MLM telemarketing conference, they use an 800 number, but
somehow have the ability to "mute" everyone while the host speaks. I think
they also have the ability to flip a switch to control who gets to speaks,
regardless of where they are in the country. I would assume this is all
arranged before hand.
The problem with AOL, MSN, or Yahoo messenger is that we all would need to
be at the same level of computer expertise and have the same computer
equipment, or nearly so.
I.E., I am on a wireless high-speed cable network. I can assure you that a
person on a 56K modem is going to be very unhappy and wanna kick my you know
what. I will be able to dominate the conversation without meaning to. My
bandwidth is much wider, and faster.
So maybe a small group of sector coordinators could get together with input
from the masses, agree on the topics to be covered send and out a notice of
an upcoming conference call and then go for it.
Everyone gets to hear what is said.
When finished everyone can send email to their respective sector coordinator
with thoughts and ideas. The sector coordinators in turn filter out
duplicates, unreasonable request, etc (with explanation back to the
originator) and pass this information upwards.
At the next meeting/conference, the new topics are covered and again the
process repeated.
This way everyone get to "hear" any new input instead of second hand stuff,
but the meeting is controlled and new information passed along.
Anyway, that's my two-cents worth.
Tony

Along the same lines, you can save a chat and forward that. It's a lot
easier than keeping minutes and typing them out.
