Gayle Hallgren-Rezac and Judy Thomson
- Two valuable programs for franchise companies - LEAP START and BECOMING A BRAND AMBASSADOR.
Co-authors of the best-selling book WORK THE POND! Gayle and Judy will jump start the connecting at your conference (LEAP START!) and can teach your franchisees the effective (and cost-effective) way networking can build their business (BECOMING A BRAND AMBASSADOR).
Gayle and Judy's signature program LEAP START gets participants at your convention or regional meeting connecting and networking like they've never done before. It will change the dynamic of your event-guaranteed!
What Gayle and Judy know, after years of teaching the skills of networking is that 80% of people have anxiety about networking and left to their own devices most attendees spend their time at conventions with people they already know. Attendees, who used to mingle at breaks, now spend this time heads down typing on BlackBerries or talking on their cell phones, instead of making new contacts and connecting face-to-face.
You can change your conference dynamic by offering LEAP START as the very first session. This high-energy one-hour session is guaranteed to jump start the connecting and networking at your conference, regional or national meeting. The benefit of LEAP START is simple: the more franchisees connect with one and other and build new relationships, the more valuable the conference will be for everyone.
BECOMING A BRAND AMBASSADOR is another program that is extremely valuable for franchise companies as it teaches franchisees how to build your company's brand in the community.
