SC Conference Call(s): - [JONAT] Assistant Sector Coordinators
List Update

This is all sounding a bit complicated. As far as I am concerned, I need to
know when the group is arriving in my region, and when it is leaving my
area. For this I need to coordinate with the formaer and next section
coordinators. Pretty much everything else is extra. Are we not
over-organising? This is not an all expense paid tour, tips included. My
understanding is that we provide guidance regarding hotels, restaurants,
services, roads, side trips; that we have some sort of organised meal(s),
and that beyond that we leave people to do what they do best - drive their
Jaguars and have fun seeing the sights around Canada and the US, meeting new
people. I am getting the impression that some SC's have too much time on
their hands. Respectfully,
Gregory

: 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....

: 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.

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